Since switching to the hadcm model everytine I switched on my machine I get the zero status and no \'finished\' file. Checked my account at it states that it should be left in memory, can someone explained what is going on? I have checked my spyware and anti virus nothing.

Alinator posted this in seti/number crunching:
*****************
So what happened is the science app thought that BOINC had died so it exited (which it is designed to do). When BOINC restarted the app it saw that the status was zero, so it thought the result was done and looked for the output data file. Since in fact it wasn\'t done, it sent the log message and let the science app continue from the last checkpoint.

HTH,

Alinator

As long as the \'zero status\' messages aren\'t happening too frequently then they\'re basically harmless. What\'s probably happening is that other processes are starting up at the same time as Boinc, and starving the client process of CPU power while they load up. This causes the manager to think the client has died, and you get the message.

Here\'s a relevant link: Task exited with zero status but no \'finished\' file
