A few notes on allowing a computer to go to standby mode while running Boinc/Seti.
First, every time you allow your computer to go to standby, you loose a little work that has already been crunched. In other words Boinc restarts the Seti application at the last checkpoint made. For this reason you should have your setting of the time interval of writing to the disk set to a low value. This way you won't loose as much crunching when it stops and restarts.
Another point is that *sometimes* an error will occur due to it going into standby. This could cause either the unit to abort, or even worse, to crunch the full length of time then be marked as invalid when it's validated.
And a third point is that if your computer is in standby very much it could cause the computer to go into EDF mode (Earliest Deadline First) or even to miss the deadline altogether.
Just a few things to consider if you let your computer go into standby.

Some people plan their life out and look back at the wealth they've had.
Others live life day by day and look back at the wealth of experiences and enjoyment they've had.

Thanks.

Mine are never in standby and run 24/7 normally.

No such a thing as a dumb question. :-)

When the computer is in standby mode the cpu is stopped, and power is removed from the attached devices, so no work can be done by the system.

No.

This is probably a dumb question, but I wasn't sure.
