3) Message boards : climateprediction.net Science : Sulphur model repeatedly respaws child process (Message 22282) Posted 22 Apr 2006 by Lord Crc Post: Sounds like it might be the same issue. Log files doesn\'t contain any indications of why the worker is exiting. I\'ve also read some other threads that indicate there is no way to recover since I do not have a full backup. If the system really relies on \"are you alive\" messages, as indicated in the other thread, then it\'s rather poorly designed imho. The processing polling the worker could easily know if the worker is alive but not responding due to cpu starvation by checking the process handle and GetProcessTimes. I use my computer at all parts of the day (often leave it over night to work on things etc), so setting \"working hours\" would be useless. And unless there\'s a way to perform some automatic backup (which of course wouldn\'t perform the backup if the worker is acting like it does now), do I see any way for me to continue. I guess I\'ll have to find another project then. :( In any case, cheers for the help!
4) Message boards : climateprediction.net Science : Sulphur model repeatedly respaws child process (Message 22234) Posted 20 Apr 2006 by Lord Crc Post: Hi, some time ago, my sulphur model started respawning the child process (the one that sulphur_4.22_windows_intelx86.exe spawns). That is, it would start the process, it would flash onto the task manager, disappear, and it would start it again. I tried stopping and restarting the BOINC service, and other things. I finally \"resolved\" this by simply deleting the entire BOINC folder and replaced it with a copy I\'d taken a week before that. This seemed to work fine. Until now. Unfortunately I have been so busy lately that I forgot to take any backups of the BOINC folder. From what I can remember, the \"orginial\" cp.net client had some restart files, any chance I can use these? Also, I\'m curious as to why the child process is quitting like this, and not leaving an error in any of the logs. Unless it\'s using some \"hidden\" log files anywhere? Any help appreciated.
