Panic Mode On (62) Server problems?

And as we speak the Crickets are coming back to life - well maybe....

To save having to monitor the Retry button I made up a little cron job and a wee awk script:

crontab entry:
* * * * * source /home/Compaq_Owner/retryfiles

retryfiles:

cd c:
cd 'Program Files/BOINC'
./boinccmd.exe --get_file_transfers | gawk -f retry.awk

Program Files\BOINC\retry.awk:

/name/ { n = $2;}
/ xfer active: no/ { system("./boinccmd --file_transfer http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ " n " retry");}

i went out for a bit and had 750 WUs dumped on me .i only have 1 computer so i will appologise to my wingmen beforehand and try to get through them as quickly as possible.

Managed to pick up an astropulse last night, otherwise in about an hour it would've been backup project time.

From empty yesterday on both machines, I currently have about 400 units on each after I re-enabled the proxy server.

During the maintenance outage I noticed all of my "suck" downloads completed are great speed. I was seeing 800k on several.

I've noticed that when connected direct, if you can get units, the download speed is quite good, up to 25KBps +, even though the proxy is still faster, these speeds are the fastest I've ever had direct from the project in 5 years.

I wonder if this means that despite what the Cricket graphs tell us, the actual network loading is not "super saturated" like it is when normally coming back from an outage, just "busy".

This, combined with the great difficulty getting work allocated (usually only one or two units at a time) means we could be looking at a Scheduler problem rather than a network overload.

All the scheduling processes are located on "bane". I wonder if this server is really being the "bane" of our lives ?

It looks as though the upload server has just gone off for a break. Also the backup server is reporting that its about 8hours behind the master, so things aren't too happy in the server room.

Let's not moan to hard all at once... Things have been picking up for the good for a while now.

The boys in the lab will probably just jumpstart the rigs again when they get in in the morning and all will be well

If they would just find a way to stop the "shortie"-storm I'd be a very happy cruncher ;-)
