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.

Questions / Re: Rule to stop GPU for two h...

Last post by Dingo001 - June 24, 2025, 07:14:21 AM

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.

24 June 2025 - 17:08:18 Rule(s) ---- Active: 4

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.

Questions / Rule to stop GPU for two hours

Last post by Dingo001 - June 23, 2025, 03:12:50 PM

I am using BOINCTasks 1.95


I have tried to use the rule with waa clock time to stop the GPU running on a Computer for two hours between 07:00 to 09:00 every day.  It does not do anything ?

I have entered the following:

Rule Name:  Stop GPU
Computer: 1-Bundy3
Application: 4.10 Genefer 17 Mega (OCLcudaGFN17MEGA)

Type = Wall-clock time
Value =  Filled in each day by selection 07:00 to 09:00
Time defaulted to 00d,00:00:00  But i have tried 00d,02:00:00  Both did not work
Event = Snooze GPU

When I click "Check" at the bottom it displays

Wall-clock Time  [00d,07:00:00, 00d,09:00:00][01d,07:00:00, 01d,09:00:00]
[02d,07:00:00, 02d,09:00:00][03d,07:00:00, 03d,09:00:00][04d,07:00:00, 04d,09:00:00]
[05d,07:00:00, 05d,09:00:00][06d,07:00:00, 06d,09:00:00]

Any help appresiated.

Beta Testing / Re: Problem installing 1.96 on...

Last post by Corsair - June 17, 2025, 09:51:13 PM

The installer is x64 only. I checked the installer on a Windows machine and it's indeed 1.96.
You can try deleting the old Boinctasks64.exe and run the installer to add the missing file.

The only real arm build is BoincTasks-Js for Windows and Mac.

But you know that Win 11 ARM64 works with Win x64 app in emulation, so, at least the installer could allow to install it on these machines.

I tried BT-JS and I have installed in my tablet (Win11 ARM64), but I'm old school and really in love with traditional BT.

hopefully in the future could be a native version for BT ARM64, of course not pushing you, I'm happy with latest version and working in my minicomputer too.

Hi Fred,

I have the controlling machine as a Windows 11 ARM64, and I installed version 1.95 without any problem.

Downloaded latest version 1.96, in several options:
- running setup from the NAS
- copying setup program in the computer and running it
- running it with administrator privilegies.

and in all option all files are updated except the .exe files, always remaining in 1.95 and deleted the access to the Startup menu.

only way I could have to install it, has been to install in previous machine windows 11 x64, and copying .exe files in Program Files correspondent folder of W11 ARM64, now running perfectly (I guess) but still no access in the startup menu.
it seems that the installer doesn't consider ARM64 as x64.

I misinterpreted your question. There is a way to copy a single line.
However, getting a single item is much more complicated.

The fastest way is to right-click on the project or task, select WWWW, and then select the first option to copy the URL.
Another option is to select Add a New Project, select one, and copy the URL.
