BOINC 3.20 available - all standard platforms

What is the best way to exit the program? Just kill it or suspend then exit?

One of my wu has 100% done by it but status has "Computation error"

Best way is to exit...... it is a clean terminate and writes the log files and sets you up for a clean restart.... suspend could catch you in any state and write out something that is not restartable.

CLI == STOP service, and put on manual until DB back online.

GUI == FILE - Exit from pop-up window.

( please remember... BOINC is multi threaded... most other DC's aren't.. that is why the clean exit is better... threads are handled properly)

*EDIT* PS: IF you run CLI and start the GUI,, it will cause this kind of error... please make sure the GUI is not in the 'all users' startup or your personal 'startup' list if you are using the CLI... it will corrupt a WU.... This will be finished in 3.21 (M2) as scheduled. *END EDIT *

PPS: Ni Ni for now

I think it's great!!!! Now, to get the '-allow_remote_gui_rpc' to work
ok would be super.... I'm sure I'm doing something stupid wrong or forgot to make another required entry somewhere.

Chaz,
are you getting it to work, or using file-sharing?

It works pretty good with the rpc switch, but I do have 1 thats being stubborn, so I just use file share for that. I turned down inquiries to 1 in 30 minutes too.
The benchmarks aren't realistic, according to them my fastest AMD machine is a 2400, but work completion times tell a different tale..

Ok,
PLEASE tell this Linux weenie where it goes? In the registry?

as in X:\Predictor -win_service -allow_remote_gui_rpc


---- or ----


the other order???

where did you put it... I am getting errors from the CLI constantly.

Go into your Boinc directory, create a shortcut to the cli, add the switch to the end of the Target Line in the shortcut's Properties.

Then start the client with the shortcut to enable the rpc. Voila!

Note: there should be 1 space between the end of your target directory (") and the start of your switch (-)

Example:
"C:\DC Projects\BOINC\boinc_cli.exe" -allow_remote_gui_rpc

Since I'm using the service mode....... should it be?

"C:\DC Projects\BOINC\boinc_cli.exe" -win_service -allow_remote_gui_rpc

and how should the 'service start' in the registry entry be (which is where the actual service is started)? Should it be the same as the shortcut?

My registry entry for BOINC currently (Image Path key):

G:\Predictor\boinc_cli.exe -win_service -allow_remote_gui_rpc

but this does not work.

Guys,
On a side note.....

For the next few days, while my 'service mode' and 'gui mode' machines get settled with the new tighter profiles, as well as get established with the service mode and bring the queue length down (currently at 58 jobs), I am seeing jobs building up in the 'ready to post' queue... They are uploaded and will auto-update when i hit the low-water mark.

During this settling, this will temporarily decrease my performance rate and I may fall in standings (in spite of the built up pending credits), but will jump back up to normal with a lot of points at my next update.... which should put me in the 1.5 days queue w/ 2 hour update rate.

This is just an FYI... nothing to be alarmed about.

PS: I also added 4 processors to my list, compliments of a friend. they are dual CPU machines which I will upgrade when I determine which parts to put in them... Does anyone know what the best AMD pn-for-pin replacement is (I can get tons of older processors) for the P2's and P-Pro's? that are socket 7 from personal experience? Both of the machines (currently dual CPU but can run as quads), have the arbitration logic on the MB to permit uni-processor CPUs to run in an SMP config... (aka, pre Athlon MP on-chip arbitration).. They are true 'servers' with redundant power supplies and split busses .

Will an Athlon 1200 or a bunch of K6's run in this type of config? I honestly have forgotten.
