Can't get app_config to work.

Depending on if the machine has run the application before you can type anything inbetween <name>XXX</name> and when you read configs the event log should tell you the known app names.

Also if you're just trying to limit the project and not the specific app you can do this:

<app_config>
<project_max_conurrent>X</project_max_concurrent>
</app_config>

And thats the whole file no names needed

<project_max_concurrent> was introduced in BOINC 7.4.9

Depending on which version of Mint you installed this may or may not work. Mint 18 and you are good to go. If you installed anything prior to 18 then the repository gives you BOINC 7.4.22. If that is the case you need to upgrade to at least 7.4.25 and then the project_max_concurrent command works.

Some of the projects that I've started running recently have bogged down my systems such as LHC, and Primerows. So I've placed app-config files into those projects to keep 1 or 2 cores free.
