[Corsair]

Hi all,

I've been reading in the wish list about "snooze function".

what is supposed to be?? (I know what is a snooze, but in BOINC??)

... wish list about "snooze function".   what is supposed to be?? (I know what is a snooze, but in BOINC??)

Currently there is a Snooze entry in BOINC Manager's tray icon menu, which was suspending both CPU computing and networking for 3600 seconds. I think it is currently suspending just CPU computation (and possibly also GPU if available).

On the BOINC dev/alpha Mailing lists, there is a pressure to get separate Snooze entries for CPU and GPU, IIRC DaveA is trying to withstand them

Will we get both of them, for any connected host? BTW, it is possible to snooze any resource for any arbitrarily amount of time, e.g. 2:30 hours till the end of tennis match or horse race ;-)

I see, right click in BOINC icon and in Spanish is "Domitar" something like nearly sleep, right "snooze" in English.

It reminds me on myself repeatedly kicking a Snooze butons on an alarm clock: "I do not want to wake up immediately, I want to snore for a couple more minutes..." _zz^zzz (dormitar, adormitar, cabecear, estar entre suoños?)

As of 0.40
The snooze in the taskbar will suspend all projects on the localhost for 1 hour. This is also the default BOINC Manager implementation.
A related function is added in the Extra menu, Suspend network communications, available for all computers. It will suspend indefinably.

Suspend+Resume. For "all" computers in the combined window at once, or for any of the computers, or the computer with topmost single-client window?
