Not all projects are as CPU-efficient as others ... or, to put it more bluntly, I don't like fighting BOINC for the use of my system!

Projects like ClimatePrediction can hog the processor which gives me a real pain if I am trying to do something urgent. Other projects, like Seti@home will happily share my system.

So, I would like to be able to bias the time-of-day when a project can run. Similar to the priority biasing 100 / 200, allowing project two twice as much time as project one.

Say, allow project one to run anytime between 00:00h (local) and 07:59h (local); while project two can run between 08:00h and 23:59h - giving the same 2:1 balance.

I solved that (with an earlier version of BOINC, so I can't know if it still works) by installing BOINC twice on my system (different directories!). One ran on my default profile and one on the home profile.
Now i used the scheduler to shut down the one boinc process at a cerain time (would be 7:59 for you) with iarsn taskinfo (i.e.) and to start the other boinc installation. it would have to do the same at 23:59 vice versa.
it worked quite well for about half a year.
For more info ask here again!
