I need to shut down my Linux system before a trip out of town.  I want
the client (boinc_4.19_i686-pc-linux-gnu) to finish computing, return
its results, and not download any more.  So I killed the running client
with Ctrl-C (signal 2), then restarted it with the -exit_when_idle
option.  Here's what I saw in the terminal:

2005-03-15 09:36:15 [---] Received signal 2
2005-03-15 09:36:16 [---] Exit requested by user

I killed it again with CTRL-C.  How can I make it upload *only*, not
download more work?  (Or am I not understanding the messages?)

Thanks.
