I\'m writing on behalf of a team mate of mine.
Since he uses BAM! and BOINC 5.8.16, he gets messages like in the following extract:
2007-03-24 11:19:26 [climateprediction.net] Restarting task hadcm3ohe_2135_05743059_0 using hadcm3 version 515

He says that before he started BAM! some Einstein-Units and the Climate model were running rotatory, but now there\'s only the Climate model running.
Here\'s his host: #517167.

It probably has nothing to do with BAM! Most likely the client does not think it has time to finish the CPDN task before the deadline so it has suspended work fetch for the other projects. Updating the client may have caused the change in behavior, there were some major changes to work fetch and CPU scheduling in the 5.8.x clients.

The other possibility is that he did not attach to einstein in BAM!. Sometimes the account managers will detach any projects not attached using the account manager.

Yes, I checked his stdoutdae.txt, and the new behaviour started after upgrading and before BAM!. But he has still one EinsteinWU waiting to run.

The other possibility is that he did not attach to einstein in BAM!. Sometimes the account managers will detach any projects not attached using the account manager.

There\'s a weird thing in his client_state.xml: I cannot find the <attached_via_acct_mgr/>-tag for any project. But BAM! does not detach the projects, so they seem to be registered in BAM!.

That is actually the proper behaviour. However several combiniations of server, account manager, and client versions caused projects to detach when not attached via the account manager. Sometimes even a detach and reattach for all projects when starting the account manager happened, but that bug was fixed quickly.
