I just re-installed BOINC on one of my computers only to find a bunch of work units from late November. How do I look up individual wu's to see if any are still awaiting results. I wanted to check, before I reset the project on this computer.

Why do you want to reset the project?

The deadline for these wu's was 11-22-04. I figured resetting was the easiest way to erase these wu's and get fresh ones. Before I do this, however, I would like to be sure that nobody is waiting for credit from one of these wu's.

So then they were resend just on 11-22-04 just don't care you can easily reset because you won't get Credit for these. If your interrested in some Information about those WU's just go to "Your Account Page"->"View Computers"-> select Host and view results.

Here is a link directly

Just for your info any work unit that is older than 2 weeks will not get any credit from the computer that was supposed to crunch it UNLESS you return the unit BEFORE any of the computers that the unit was sent out too for the second round. If you are not the FIRST computer to return it then the workunit will eventually die on your list. Credit will be granted for the unit, just not to you.
Reset and move on.
