Suspend WU after next checkpoint

[Criswo]

Some projects obviously have checkpoints that don't follow your boinc configuration (Write to disk every ..... seconds).
WCG's MCM is such an example; it writes to disk every 10 minutes.
In order to avoid a loss of donated computing power I often just sit there, waiting for a checkpoint to get reached before suspending tasks prior to shutting down my computer (e. g. at night times).

It would be very useful to get a tool on hand which at least frees me of the sit and wait 

Many thanks.

But how....
Once you stop a tasks as it check points, another one starts running.

[Criswo]

Well, yes, that's true.

But on the other hand, "Ready to start" tasks can be suspended without a loss and the project will not load any additional tasks in that case.

So we would be back just dealing with the running tasks.

Implemented in V 1.64

Hi Fred,

I may be doing something wrong but it seems the WUs still won't suspend although I selected the command from the tasks context menu.
Also not sure if I remember it correctly but the checkpoint

• is also not changing - always set to "0".
  It would be very great if you could doublecheck that for me.
  
  Many thanks in advance Fred!

Did you read this.

I just checked WCG and something isn't right, will check.

You are so right Fred!
After having enabled the history it went well.

Many thanks for your quick response and good work.
