Hi,

I was wondering whether a change in the Kernel (from 2.4.26 to 2.4.27 for example) and the necessary reboot for an otherwise 24/7 machine would disrupt the work on CP (BOINC client) in any way? TIA.

Best

Rolf

If you shut down the client cleanly, you'll lose nothing.

If you shut it down by forcibly killing it, you'll lose a few minutes' work (it saves at the start of every day --- and at the start of every month, as well, into a separate file, although I'm not quite sure why.)
