These are probably daft questions.

If when you are running multiple projects on Boinc 4.2x with WU/s that are about to expire it is possible to suspend the other project/s or WU’s from the other project/s so the WU’s you want to clear run all the time. When those WU’s have cleared will the suspended projects or WU’s resume or will Boinc just download more of the running projects WU’s and run them?

Another question is if a project is suspended with no WU’s stored on the computer and the running project/s run out of work will the suspended project activate and download WU’s i.e. can Suspend Project be used to keep a project as a backup project?

Hi

Thats exactly what i did yesterday.
I registered einstein last sunday and the deadline for this is only 7 days.
So yesterday i suspended seti that not all einstein WUs expires.
The client moves to einstein and after 2 finnished results resumed seti back on.
It works well in my case.

I've been fiddling with the "connect every x days" -- I'd been running at 3 or 4 to keep SETI work cached.

Now that LHC is back, and I'm doing Einstein, I started cranking it down and I'm now at 0.5 days.

As long as one of the three projects is up, I'll always have work, but the cache is never very full -- and stuff doesn't expire waiting to get to the top of a big cache.

The deadline on Einstein is too short though.
