Questions / Rule not continuous?
August 23, 2019, 05:22:19 PM
I'm having a problem with a rule not continuing to run. 

I want a rule that checks ELAPSED time > 3 minutes and if TIME LEFT is > 2 hours then SUSPEND the task.

When I first establish the rule it works as intended but several hours later it has appartently stopped running.  ie I'll have a number of WU with an elapsed time of 1 hour with 3 hours remaining and they are running - not suspended.

If I stop/restart BoincTasks it will suspend those tasks as it should have done before.  But after an hour or so it is back to missing those long WU.  If I modify the rule in any way, ie change elapsed time by 1 second, then it will work again for a short time.

How can I overcome this? 

BTW, I'm controlling 7 machines with 480 threads.  That is the only rule being used.

One other question. there is a TIME field to the right of the 1st section above COLOR.  What is this for?  I'm assuming this is the amount of time a condition must be true in order to trigger and event.

EDIT:  I originally was running version 1.7.8 and now I'm running 1.8.  I'm having the same problem with both.

Questions / NCI Tasks not showing
December 18, 2014, 08:06:45 PM
I've been using BTasks for years looking at 8 computers.  Last night for some reason it stopped showing any of my NCI tasks like WuProp or Quake Catcher in the active TASK area.  Looking at BOINC manager itself they are still running on the machines.

I've looked multiple times and can't find anywhere that I can turn these tasks on or off so I'm at a loss.  I upgraded to 1.66 and still no luck.

What am I overlooking?
