The BOINC command tool (boinccmd, previously called boinc_cmd) provides a command-line interface to a running BOINC core client, boinccmd has the following interface

 
Boinccmd [--host hostname] [--passwd passwd] command

Otherwise you need to supply (as password) the string stored in the file gui_rpc_auth.cfg in the client's data directory.

If you use the bash shell, you may find this BOINC Wiki
