Attach to a project / account?

[ghost]

What does "attaching" to an account or project actually mean? Is the client supposed to operate without doing that?

I am trying to avoid the GUI manager because it looks somewhat half-baked and well, I just prefer the command line in general. So trying to do everything with boinccmd. I read the manual page and the github doc page, but they have this "attaching" concept which is not further explained.

I looked into the client logs and it seems generally happy, knows about the projects which I want to join, but getting no work from any of them. They are climateprediction, rosetta and rnaworld.

The system is Fedora 42 on an older Dell laptop, integrated Intel GPU but it looks like not CL-enabled. Not sure if that matters.

Thanks TIA for your answer,
