"boinc" is the user that BOINC is installed as under a Dotsch/UX install. So replace that "home/boinc" with "home/username" for your install. So if you used the username "dilbert" it'd be "home/dilbert" (So it becomes "/home/dilbert/BOINC" in your case.)
Because of how that script gets run, you cannot use the "~/" shortcut to refer to the current users home directory. Once you have that script in the /etc/init.d folder, that's when you can run that
Code:
sudo update-rc.d boinc defaults 90 01
That will cause BOINC to be cleanly started and stopped during bootup and shutdown. One caveat though, GPU crunching doesn't work when started via the start-up scripting like that.
