Description
It appears that to get rid of a large long term debt for a project, the user must detach from (or perhaps merely reset) the project. Sometimes getting rid of all the files for a project is impractical.
Ticket #131 added an API to adjust the long term debt. I'd prefer not to have to write my own executable to invoke that API.
This request is to provide a facility (e.g., in boinc_cmd) optionally available to the expert user whereby the long term debt of a particular project can be adjusted (e.g., set to zero).

Went looking at the 64-bit Linux boinc_cmd 5.10.8. Tried '--set debts'. Nothing worked - the long term debt of the project I was trying to reset was never changed. Ended up having to issue a detach for that project. [I had tried specifying the project's URL to boinc_cmd both with and without the 'h t t p : ' prefix.]
Seeing that this command appears to have been already placed into boinc_cmd, but in my experience does not work there, please change the type of Ticket #301 from 'Enhancement' to 'Defect'.

I did some debugging and the RPC itself seems to be broken (boinc_cmd is working as it should, client isn't).
Considering the original title and description on this ticket, I'll mark this ticket as invalid, since what is specifically being asked for (user interface) already exists. However I will reopen #131 (where the RPC was requested). I will also post a comment here when the RPC gets fixed, so you are notified.
Thanks for the report.

RPC has been fixed (I haven't tested it yet. I can't compile the client myself so gotta wait for next release). See #131:5.
PS: I forgot to mark this one as invalid on my last comment; doing it now.
boinc_cmdalready has such command.boinc_cmd --helpoutput contains this line near the end:Also, I don't agree with having a debt adjusting UI on the official Manager. That's definitely the job for either an unofficial manager oriented to advanced users, or for a dedicated tool (ie. a program that is only for changing debts and not a full-featured manager).
