I have a computer without graphical server. I can't manage to attach my computer to BAM, I can't find the correct command. -attach_project does not work and as far as I can tell this is normal, considering that BAM is an account manager, not a project. Could anyone help me and give me the correct command line please ?

--acct_mgr_rpc URL name password

Edited to clarify - just run the client normal without projects. Then use boinc_cmd with this option. If you are running boinc_cmd on the same machine as the client just do

./boinc_cmd --acct_mgr_rpc URL name password in your BOINC dir

NOTE I have not yet gotten this to work with BAM, at least on RH9, i'm going to try FC4 later. I get a http error.

I've got the same problem, did anyone find a solution to solve this problem? Or: How to connect to BAM using a non-graphical linux client of BOINC?

This worked really fine for me. I attached an already running client to BAM like this:

[marco@server] ./boinc_cmd --acct_mgr_rpc http://bam.boincstats.com/ DubbleU <password_here>
[marco@server] tail boinc.log
...

EDIT: I'm using stock BOINC client 5.4.9 on that computer

./boinc_cmd --acct_mgr_rpc http://bam.boincstats.com/ DubbleU <password_here>

above line copied from doubleU's post (obviously).
most important, apparently, is the trailing /, which finally made it work for me as well.
just posting this here so others don't have the same troubles
