The BOINCCMD program is the command line control program for BOINC. While you can start the BOINC client with its own set of switches, you can set these only once.

The BOINCCMD program allows you to control BOINC multiple times, especially useful for when you lack a GUI (BOINC Manager). Multiple commands per line are possible.
