How do you configure that for Linux?

Still got problems getting SCC WUs.

After getting some SCC WUs on Monday morning, after a short dry spell on late Sunday, a short while ago, all hosts are pulling again non-SCC WUs...

Found that approximately 2.5 days has been enough to see me through these dry spells...


Accomplish that here for each individual machine by using a global_prefs_override.xml file in the boinc directory, see the two work_buf_xxxx lines below... After editing this file you will need to run boinccmd with the "--read_global_prefs_override" directive for boinc to react to the change. Use "man boinccmd" for info on this directive and more. The "q" key will allow you to get back to the command line if you are not familiar with using the "man" command...

Yep, but 4 days or less works for me.
