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.

Don't know, possibly it fetches one last wu to process then exits?  "Get,
process and report work, then exit."  Not quite like classic where the
command was stop_after_send.txt. 
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/client_unix.php Maybe for s@h you could try the
stop_after_send.txt in the project client as per classic?

Noticed other complaints about exit_when_idle not working.  CPDN boinc forum
suggested the following solution:
"By changing the number of GB to leave free on the disk to more than the
disk size itself. If there are 80 GB free on the disk, change it to 100 GB.
Of course this would affect any home computers, and any other BOINC
projects you might be running on your home computers (if any), as well."
