I have crunched enough work now to Create the Team.  Join BOINC-AUSTRALIA if you run this non BOINC project.


Keep it running

On Linux, running the client as a systemd service keeps it running across reboots. Create a unit file at /etc/systemd/system/crunch.service:

[Unit]
Description=primecrunch client
After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/path/to/crunch  ## CHANGE THIS
Restart=on-failure
User=yourlinuxusername  ## CHANGE THIS

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target


Then enable and start it:

sudo systemctl enable --now crunch
