1) Questions and Answers : Windows : How to stop getting new Work Units? (Message 24639)

Your computer time would be more productive running the new TCMs.
AFTER you upgrade BOINC.



Ok. So do I just ditch the current model and start something else?

Preferably something that doesn\'t take ages to finish, because I don\'t use the computer that much these days...

Use Windows\' facility to uninstall boinc 4.19 first, else you\'ll have a mess on your hands. (Once you get to 5.x.x, it\'s not necessary to uninstall prior to future upgrades [unless the rules change again].)


Will I lose the unfinished work unit? I have 20.5% done of \"sulphur_cycle 4.22\".

Or can I somehow save the work and continue it with version 5.6?

Or should I just start from scratch?

Thanks.

I remember reading somewhere, that you can set Boinc to not ask for more work after a Work Unit has finished. I can\'t find this setting anywhere.

I am running Boinc 4.19.

I read from http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/quick_faq.php that you are supposed to exit Boinc before shutting down windows. I once used a script to make a backup of my files before shutting down the computer. I placed a shortcut to this script to the start menu and used it every time I wanted to power off (instead of using the normal \"turn off computer\" link).

I was wondering if a similar script could be used with Boinc? Perhaps someone who knows the command line parameters could make a script which first closes Boinc properly and then closes Windows.
