Moved the bash script description here, leaving only a link on BoincCmd?. Also changed some of the text. Revert if you disagree.

+The bash shell has a useful facility to complete commands when you press [TAB]. There is a script which goes a bit further and lets bash complete [BoincCmd boinc_cmd] own commands and options.
+
+For example if you type '''boinc_cmd --get[TAB]''' it gives you all commands which begin with --get:
+{{{
+--get_cc_status            --get_project_status
+--get_disk_usage           --get_proxy_settings
+--get_file_transfers       --get_results
+--get_host_info            --get_screensaver_mode
+--get_messages             --get_simple_gui_info
+--get_project_config       --get_state
+--get_project_config_poll
+}}}
+If you now press 'p' the selection is reduced to:
+{{{
+--get_project_config       --get_project_status
+--get_project_config_poll  --get_proxy_settings
+}}}
+and so on. The script also completes host names after the --host option.
+
+To use this command completion, save the following script on a file and source it in bash.
+{{{

+<!-- instructions are needed on what exactly users are supposed to do to use the script, ie what "source it in bash" means. -->
