Questions / SOLVED! Make Boinctasks run s...

Last post by hucker - Today at 02:10:16 AM

I have finally discovered why Boinctasks tends to stall (in discussion with Boinc programmer Vitalii Koshura).  It's the fault of AVG, the virus checker!  This running on all my computers with Boinc, it interferes and keeps scanning the files for Boinc when it doesn't need to (I've complained to AVG).  Hence Boinc does not respond in a timely fashion to Boinctasks.  I fixed it by creating exceptions in AVG to not touch files in c:\program files\boinc and c:\programdata\boinc

What's the story with me getting the message with cpdn when I wasn't creating an account I was just attaching a new host.  This sounds to me as though cpdn is sending the legal notice out again when it shouldn't be.

Most projects have this notice, I just forgot to implement it...
It probably has to do with European data protection laws.

But I only get the problem with CPDN - I assume with other projects it only occurs when setting up a new account.  CPDN for some reason send it out again when simply detaching and reattaching a project!

And yes, it's always Europe's fault.  What they do is screwing up the rest of the world - eg. cookie notices and daytime headlights!  The UK where I live left the EU but we're still living with the aftermath, and from what friends in the US have said, cookie notices pollute the internet over there too!

I think a much better approach is to use the day of week for situations like this.
This will stop the CPU and GPU tasks.

If you don't want that, you can run multiple BOINC clients.
https://efmer.com/boinctasks/linux-running-multiple-boinc-clients/.
Use one for the CPU and another for the GPU, and use the BOINC day of week to suspend the BOINC client.

Still kept processing.  Is the time the CPU time that BoincTasks is running on ?  I might just give up.

I didn't get this anywhere on my rules page.

It's been a long time ago.

put in one trigger (red) at 7 hour.
Use Snooze GPU
Fill in 3:00:00 in the white box below.

Press on the check button.

You should see snooze for 00d:03:00:00

In the Rules log check debugging.

I hope that works.

What you could do is make a batch file that restarts the Boinc Client.
Next make a rule Progress / min % and select Event run program and fill in the batch file below to run.
Add a time for the rule to be valid.
