Stopping tasks

[jave200372]

- Rebooting the BOINC client and/or stopping the projects.

This would be nice.  At the moment I'm suspending tasks in case I need to use the CPU for something else.    When I'm done, I resume the tasks.  No big deal I suppose.

In 0.27 there will be a stop BOINC client in the File menu. File -> Close BOINC client.
And a Start BOINC client to start it again without leaving BoincTasks.

Fred,
Does this mean I can stop loading the Boinc Manager on startup for all my machines, and use Boinc Tasks to control the core client?

That should work right now. Extra-Settings->Start BOINC client at login/startup.
When BoincTasks starts it checks if the client is already running, if not it starts the client. Something like BOINC Manager does.
It is tested on a couple of computers, but I got no reports in, if this actually works on other computers.
The only thing you can't do right now is stopping the client using BoincTasks.
