Hi,
I'm attached to several projects and boinc is behaving strangely:
It says that einstein and Sulphur are running.
But the time progress of E@H is freezed and it is the time of LHC that is progressing, although LHC is in pause.
And when I "top" in the bash, top tells me that Alife and sulphur are running.
How do I know which project is really running ? a little screenshot
BOINC4.32, Suse9.2, P4 3Ghz HT.

This looks like the problem I have encountered here: http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=15205

It seems the sulfur WU of CPDN Alpha is running correctly. But instead of the einstein client the alife one has been started (or resumed?). Everytime I have seen these mix-ups the wrongly started clients did work on one of their own WUs. Just the CPU-time is attributed to another WU. So the alife-WU may end up finished with 0 seconds of time spent.

Thanks for replying
In fact, the Alife Wus are finished in 1.28 hours. So they are really crunshed.
All the projects have a positive progress time.
I've just seen on the E@H faq that top isn't listing the E@H application when you use an "old" linux kernel, so perhaps all this mess comes from that...

That might explain, why you don't see einstein using CPU-time in top. But it certanly doesn't explain why Alive uses CPU time.
