There was some problems with the servers and storage systems, which results in the problem that up- and downloads. Seti had a lot of maintainance time needed (offline) to fix this problems.
There was a lot of messages in the board in these times...

i dont mean server problems... at the beginning of boinc there were
many answers to update the boinc client if no wu is up or dl.

The current version 4 are stable, and the problems at the begin of boinc are solved. There is no more heavly updating of the clients needed...

What is about and update by a script ? - The boinc installation are not may steps, and could be easly do by a script. - Which OSes do you have ?

i dont mean the first installation, only update old boinc version -
new boinc version.

Is the simliar the same thing like on the first install, stop boinc, install the new version, start boinc.
At the first install, you must install the boinc client, start it with "-attach-project" and let it run.
Both can do by a small shell script...

we were crunching on tru64, linux, now we only crunch on
win2000,xp,2003.

Why do you not migrate some hosts to boinc and verify the installation and test the clients on your different platfroms. - For all your platforms are binaries available.

It think it is to bad about, if a strong cruncher stops crunching ! - The science is already the same in classic and boinc seti. And the next generation of the seti app will do a lot of more usefull science !
Also you can partipicate some other project like on your personal interest. If you configure boinc right, you will always have a "backup" project, if seti is down.

is there a possibility with boinc to see all clients on one computer
(like setiqueue)?
now i take look at setiqueue and i see if a computer is down or has
problems with a workunit (not sending wu, down  or something else).

With the boinc manager, you can manage a lot of hosts, but see only one.  You must connect to the system manualy.
A very good alternative is boinc view. You can add all your hosts in a list, see the different hosts.
I am not shure, but I have seen that setiqueue is now available for boinc now. - I will search around in the forums.
At http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_network.php you will find a lot of third party tools.
