I have these. The first four are running; the other three are waiting for processors. Those are the times when they were downloaded. 11-May-2019 06:47:24 Finished download f3fa8e4555f8464c806ff64a4db24b10.tpr 12-May-2019 11:47:24 Finished download dba2519e9770fb2d760a88c814058f28.tpr 12-May-2019 16:17:25 Finished download 3a8e6dc4f8ef668c00b5146bbb0b271b.tpr 17-May-2019 05:17:24 Finished download 74c44e9b936548c3cf49038235b7a9cf.tpr 17-May-2019 05:47:24 Finished download 0e9be06502c7d4c7f9f093795839ae54.tpr 17-May-2019 11:17:23 Finished download bca4a07172c26ca3f610247c16c05ed7.tpr 17-May-2019 12:17:22 Finished download 9b96c4be4889bd6f4b23f9f83f9373f0.tpr WOW like a timer. Do you use a scheduler? Does anyone know why the project is set up to do that? How often to the magic time is changed? If I had the programming skills I think you could tweek a scheduler to search for the magic time.   |

WOW like a timer. Do you use a scheduler? Does anyone know why the project is set up to do that? How often to the magic time is changed? If I had the programming skills I think you could tweek a scheduler to search for the magic time. Sure; it is pretty easy. I put the following entries in my crontab: $ crontab -l #Min Hr DOM Mo DOW Command # added WCGstopTB.sh #Min Hr DOM Mo DOW Command 17 * * * * /home/jeandavid8/Downloads/WCGstopTB.sh 47 * * * * /home/jeandavid8/Downloads/WCGstopTB.sh And WCGstopTB.sh contains: #! /bin/bash sleep 14 /usr/bin/boinccmd --project http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org update exit 0 That is for Linux. I do not run Windows, so I do not know how to do it there.  |

Jean-David, I haven't learned scripting yet and I missed the start of the "like a timer" discussion. What does your (above) script WCGstopTB.sh do??? Looks like it does something, waits 14 seconds and then does it again...

Looks like it does something, waits 14 seconds and then does it again... No, that script does nothing until it is invoked (by the crontab rules). It then waits 14 seconds and then executes /usr/bin/boinccmd --project http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org update that sends the command update to the project at http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org |

That is for Linux. I do not run Windows, so I do not know how to do it there. That was going to be my next question: what is the invocation for Windows 10 ? I'll have to look that up.Edit: Ok, figured out how to run the cmd in Windows (dang, it's been a long time since I've had to monkey around with kind of stuff... having a blast  ). It's the exactly same command used for Linux (just have to find the path to run it from). Now I have to figure out how to run it from a batch file... although I could just use Python or Java. Since batch file was my first serious exposure to programming, I think I'll try to hack it out that way. In my installation of Windows it's:c:\Program Files (x86)\BOINC>boinccmd --project http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org update CJSL Crunching like it was going out of style... ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by cjslman at May 19, 2019 1:33:11 AM] |

Luckypants Were they obtained at the times I suggested? Mike Yes they were. I'm following that pretty closely. Not had any work units for past 3 days though.  |

I have noticed that the returns have fallen to 3400 per day, so there may be a gap in production of units. That has happened many times before.
Before I reached diamond and switched to Zika & Aids2, I used to hold a cache of 9 days to allow for those gaps. It also gave a better chance of reaching the next badge if the project finished. If you operate 24/7 set your cache to 9+1. If less than 24/7 reduce cache in proportion. They are supposed to be continuing for some time. Mike |

I reckon I have enough in the kitty to get my Sapphire badge, which is the limit of my ambition. So I've stopped actively going after HSTB work units now.

I reckon I have enough in the kitty to get my Sapphire badge, which is the limit of my ambition. So I've stopped actively going after HSTB work units now. Maybe that's why I'm getting some now!! I have a very short cache setup, about 3/4 of a day, and am only crunching FAH2 wu's and TB wu's, I seem to be getting all I want at the moment. I finish one and get another. I have 2 accounts here and am currently using my other one to crunch, I have most of my 10 year badges on this one, except for the TB one. It will be the next one on this account. I'm going for my 5 year badges on the other account with only TB and FAH2 remaining.   [Edit 1 times, last edit by mikey159b at May 28, 2019 11:11:43 PM] |
