Description Forgotten User xX6RsSzvZJ 2017-01-02 06:52:00 UTC

The openSUSE installation of BOINC creates two symlinks in /usr/bin:
boincmgr
boincmanager
These point to a wrapper script /usr/bin/boinc-manager
The script boinc-manager calls /usr/bin/boinc-gui without passing given arguments. This is a problem because the man page does not match what is being done. There is no man page for boinc-gui, and the arguments described in `man boincmgr` are not used.
