Title: Control TThrottle core setting from BoincTasks?
Post by: coolstream on September 02, 2012, 11:58:17 AM
I wonder how difficult it would be to allow TThrottle Core setting to be edited directly from BoinTasks. I appreciate that this would require a two way communication and don't even know if a remote communication could be run as an administrator.

Maybe this would be too much of a security risk at the remote end, but it would make sense to be able to change the setting especially if you saw that the remote machine was running hot.

BoincTasks -> Show -> TThrottle and there you are.

BoincTasks -> General "TThrottle passsword" Set it on both ends. The whole data stream is strongly encrypted, a lot more secure than the barely encrypted BOINC data.

And no need to run anything as administrator.

D'Oh. I feel so dumb for missing that!

Thanks for the prompt reply.
