Re: March 20, 2023 Hardware Recovery Update

@Cyclops
I am hoping that you can share more day-by-day details on how things are progressing with the recovery.

I had sent several emails to the support mail but it seems that no one is available to respond to those emails.

Hi bfmorse, you should have received responses to your support emails. If you did not get any of them, we'll have to look into our emailing system for any issues.

Hi bfmorse, you should have received responses to your support emails. If you did not get any of them, we'll have to look into our emailing system for any issues.
Responses to original and "reply all" messages have been sporadic so, I don't know if the issue is system related or something else.

I usually include my login email along with a secondary email address for my cell phone that I CC the message to (reason for "reply all" messages), My intent being: I am able to see a reply on my cell phone when I am at work and have the opportunity to reply to any questions or comments in a more timely manner. I have both originated and replied to messages from my primary email's computer and my cell phone's email.

I have not yet attempted to troubleshoot the issue from my end.

Let me know what you find out and if the email issue has been completely resolved or is still a work-in-progress.

Re: March 20, 2023 Hardware Recovery Update

Well, we're getting into "later this week", as mentioned by the updated ( March 27) first post by Cyclops in this thread. No life from BOINC, and no more updates about the problem from the team.

So, I guess that this week will probably not be the week when BOINC restarts. It's soon 17:00 hours in Toronto, and the team as well as the data center, will close shop and go home.

Re: March 20, 2023 Hardware Recovery Update

The way things are going, I strongly suspect that we'll be "celebrating" a 1 month anniversary of this original issue...

It doesn't take much for a very brief update, EACH AND EVERY DAY, until we're 'back on our feet'...

Working on a 5 day week, say an update post would take 5 minutes that is 25 minutes that could be focused on fixing a problem. I am more than happy with 1 to 2 week updates. Keep up the great work team. When you are ready I will be here to help

...

The next decision point will depend on how reliable the WCG runs. I am done with continually hitting the retry button to get WU downloaded from WCG. ARP is my favorite WCG project so hopefully it will be stable and I will continue WCG until at least the end of ARP.


It is a bit off-topic, but maybe this can help someone. About "...hitting the retry button..." — in the Linux distros, you could add a CRON job to do the hitting for you.

  • One-liner crontab example that retries transfers every minute:
    # Change the working directory to where boinccmd is, check if there are pending transfers and then retry
    * * * * * cd $(dirname $(which boinccmd)) && boinccmd --get_file_transfers | grep -Fq 'name: ' && boinccmd --network_available

  • Crontab with script:
    * * * * * /name/of/your/script

    Inside of the script:
    #!/bin/bash -l

    # This prevents stacking up more than one simultaneous cronjob because the script runs in a loop
    (( $(pgrep -cf "/bin/bash.* $(realpath $0)") > 1 )) && exit 0

    # Change working dir because boinccmd has some PATH resolving issues, I guess...
    cd $(dirname $(type -p boinccmd))

    # Loop every 10 sec and retry pending transfers as long as the internet is available and
    # there are pending transfers from WCG
    while ping -nA -w 5 -c 3 8.8.8.8 >/dev/null 2>&1 && boinccmd --get_file_transfers |& grep -Fq 'name: '; do
    boinccmd --network_available
    sleep 10
    done

There is no need to hit any retry button... sad
