Hi all,
I'm slowly expanding my crunching network and I've come to a bit of a crossroads on task management on all of my computers. Until recently I always had BOINC on my desktop, laptop and another backup desktop I had downstairs. Each of these had their own monitors and I controlled the tasks being run on each computer from that computer. Recently I upgraded the two desktops so I now have 4 desktops running BOINC. Since the two old ones do not have KVM setups I have been switching over from the active computers to monitor the status of the two others and then switching my KVM back. My question is: can I link all of these computers (through a home network or something) so that I can manage all of their tasks and statuses from one central task manager? I was also considering kVM switches if the first is not an option. Any advice would be much appreciated.
