Quote from: hucker on June 28, 2025, 02:33:08 PMWhat'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.

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.

Select Wall-clock time, select a start time from the green area.

Select Snooze GPU

In the blank field below Show nothing

Press check

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.

I added the times 17:00 to 20:00 to the Rule. It seems that I needed to activate the rule by clicking the check mark next to the rule after it is created so I did that.

I looked in BOINCTasks at 17:10 and the task was still running an in the Rule Log it said.

Wish List / Recovery for stalled work unit...
Last post by Mysteron347 - June 23, 2025, 03:22:24 PM
I've had several instances of tasks stalling, especially Milkyway lately.

I'd like Boinctasks to monitor the %-complete for each work unit and if it does not change for xx minutes, issue a notice (with a maximum of xx notices per xx time-unit to maintain sanity)

I've found that stopping then restarting the BOINC client via the Boinctasks file menu options kicks the stalled tasks into progressing again. Perhaps another option would be to automatically sto then restart the client if a task does not progress after xx minutes.
