Currently there is a Snooze entry in BOINC Manager's tray icon menu, which was suspending both CPU computing and networking for 3600 seconds. I think it is currently suspending just CPU computation (and possibly also GPU if available).

On the BOINC dev/alpha Mailing lists, there is a pressure to get separate Snooze entries for CPU and GPU, IIRC DaveA is trying to withstand them ::)

Will we get both of them, for any connected host? :) BTW, it is possible to snooze any resource for any arbitrarily amount of time, e.g. 2:30 hours till the end of tennis match or horse race ;-)

I see, right click in BOINC icon and in Spanish is "Domitar" something like nearly sleep, right "snooze" in English. :-[ :-[

It reminds me on myself repeatedly kicking a Snooze butons on an alarm clock: "I do not want to wake up immediately, I want to snore for a couple more minutes..." zzzzz (dormitar, adormitar, cabecear, estar entre suoƱos?)

As of 0.40
The snooze in the taskbar will suspend all projects on the localhost for 1 hour. This is also the default BOINC Manager implementation.
A related function is added in the Extra menu, Suspend network communications, available for all computers. It will suspend indefinably.

Suspend+Resume. For "all" computers in the combined window at once, or for any of the computers, or the computer with topmost single-client window?
