Public bug reported:
Currently if one uses the BOINC Manager GUI and uses the file > exit
command the BOINC Manager GUI exits and it also shuts down the BOINC
Core Client. Relaunching the BOINC Manager GUI only relaunches the
BOINC Manager GUI and does not check or try to launch the BOINC Core
Client if it is not currently operating. This means that unless you use
the command line or reboot your computer you cannot relaunch the BOINC
Core Client.
Expected behavior: If the BOINC Manager is launched and the BOINC Core
Client is not in operation that the action of launching the BOINC
Manager GUI also starts the BOINC Core Client. If the BOINC Manager GUI
is launched and the BOINC Core Client is operating display the projects,
tasks, etc as designed.
This ensures that the BOINC Manager doesn't open to be blank and appear
not working for users unaware that the BOINC Core Client is what also
needs to launch to have the processing happen. This function helps make
BOINC more user friendly and usable to those avoiding the command line.
