I'm thinking about making a Java front-end for Seti BOINC for OS X. Looking in state.sah, I see most of the data I need for display-- except for the current user total credit, work unit cpu time and the like. I found that info, or at least where they should be, in init_data.xml and also in client_state.xml. Trouble is, as you can see below, only one tag has a value other than zero. Does anyone have an idea why this is the case and also for , what is the unit of measurement, seconds?

Thanks in advance!

wu_cpu_time>4461.470000 /wu_cpu_time>
user_total_credit>0.000000 /user_total_credit>
user_expavg_credit>0.000000 /user_expavg_credit>
host_total_credit>0.000000 /host_total_credit>
host_expavg_credit>0.000000 /host_expavg_credit>

NOTE: Please disregard the subsequent posts (marked "Disregard") on this topic. This is the only valid one. I tried to find a way to delete them but it seems I cannot... :-( Also please note that I had to modify the XML tags in order to get them to display at all as the board tries to parse them and displays only the values.

Doesn't < work on these boards?
EDIT: < and > do indeed appear to work... you just have to know the HTML code for them :)

As far as the zeroes are concerned... I believe it is just another side-effect of the server outages. The client on my laptop here says I have 0 credit as well even though this is not the case. I'm not sure why, but the clients seem to default back to 0 whenever they can't contact the server. I swould think they should just keep displaying the last data. Just wait until they get back up and running and check again. I bet everything will be back to normal.

P.S. This is why you do not click "submit" over and over again if the server isn't responding :)

Hi Pathogen

Sorry I could not help but it's a very good idea though.
Many if not most Mac users are not cmd lines fanatics and
you would become a star if you come up with Java page.

I am also running a Mac here and I had lots of help from
mikkyo. You can look for him on MacNN board. He's the one
who compiled all the clients of the following page.

He would be the best person "I know" to answer you question.

After Tobby of course...

Good luck

Marc

WoW, Pathogen I did a little checking with the Guinness World Book of Records and you have single handedly set the new World Record for Double Posting in a Forum, a bit impatient with the posting speed of the forum are we ... ;)

I know HTML. However, the XML tags were parsed, not displayed by this board, meaning only the values for those tags was displayed and not the tag itself, even inside pre. Hence it was necc. to remove a LT/GT or two... ;-)

OK, that's good news!

Yeah, they should. That's a bug.

The way these boards have been of late, you never know... In any case, you should be able to delete your own posting, IMHO.

Thanks Marc!

Well... let me demonstrate :)

<wu_cpu_time>4461.470000 </wu_cpu_time>
<user_total_credit>0.000000 </user_total_credit>
<user_expavg_credit>0.000000 </user_expavg_credit>
<host_total_credit>0.000000 </host_total_credit>
<host_expavg_credit>0.000000 </host_expavg_credit>

just have to put &#60&#59; instead of <

Ah, the secrets of message board posting :)
