Hi !!
I want to know, what I have to do if I'll shut down my PC for a long period (for example longer than the report deadline of one or more projects) !!!!

And what happens about the involved working units ??

Thanks

After it comes back up, you may wish to reset the projects where all of the WUs are past deadline. Continuing with these will probably not be contributing to the science or to your credit scores.

I think that if BOINC is well designed, it should be possible to discard all the project's WUs (with the results at the moment), for example to submit them to other running PC.
In other words with Seti classic it was possible to stop execution after the last WU received and not to receive any other WU (and to restart later - weeks, months)
Is it possible to manage BOINC and the related projects in the same way ?????
