4) Message boards : Number crunching : end process (Message 19474) Posted 20 Jan 2006 by enginerd Post: >>have you got a backup copy of the BOINC folder? ummm..... from before the wu started! is there any way to delete some recent output files to trick boinc into letting me start this wu again?? 40.5 days is a lot of lost crunching. actually the process canceled was a non-running sulfur thread (that had been aborted long ago) that still was present in the task manager. when i accidentally killed it, it took the running thread with it.

8) Message boards : Number crunching : dammit (Message 17631) Posted 2 Dec 2005 by enginerd Post: so my workunit (754048) errored out with 3:43 left to go when someone printed to this computer. oh well, only a couple hundred hours lost!!! any idea why?? for some reason it was removed from memory just before it completed. this has never been a problem before.

9) Message boards : Number crunching : Windows shutdown procedure (Message 17318) Posted 23 Nov 2005 by enginerd Post: Does the shutdown procedure in the FAQ still apply to the latest version of Boinc (5.2.7)? Or is it safe now to shut down without exiting the program first? i pretty much just shut down whenever, the computer stays on mon-fri and i havent had any problems. but i think it goes suspend hadsm quit boinc restart or just suspend hadsm restart

13) Questions and Answers : Windows : Workunit there but CPDN grabbed a new one... (Message 11302) Posted 23 Mar 2005 by enginerd Post: i have the same problem...i am trying to move a run on my home computer to work and cant get boinc to recognize the old model. i copy /projects, /slots, and all the cpdn .xml type files. then copy straight to boinc folder on work machine. when started, boinc manager just sits there. if i use the installer to "repair" it downloads another model so i have to detach before it crunches. boinc 4.25 at work model ran on 4.25 at home p.s. can the /locale stuff except for default language be deleted safely?
