One last question we should have asked you before, are you using the screensaver or do you just have your Mac shut off the monitor?
Other than that I can't think of anything else offhand.

A good thought, actually … although I don’t see a lot of regularity in the timing of the problem in David’s logs, your question reminded me of the other Energy Saver setting: “Put the computer to sleep when it is inactive for (time slider)”. This should definitely be set to “Never” when running BOINC, which (IME at least) doesn’t recover properly after the CPU has been sleeping.

By the way, is there no way to report a problem to them? I have donated many 10s of thousands of computer hous to the project. How about a little help from the developers!

If they answered every request for help from the thousands of users out there, they would never get any of their own work done. There's only about five people in all trying to keep the servers running smoothly, analyze the science, do the paperwork, give speeches at the University, have a personal life, etc.

BOINC is open source, and many users in the community understand the workings of BOINC (or have even contributed to some of it's programming) and are just as good to help people along.

You shouldn't feel like you're getting second rate help just because one of the official developers aren't here responding to your questions. Some of the volunteers are very knowledgeable, and probably more so in some aspects of some things related to computers. That's why these boards were created: to allow users to help each other and to allow the community to grow on it's own, knowing they wouldn't have the manpower to do it all themselves.

That was it, thanks Keith!

The issue was when the app exits because of a loss of heartbeat, when BOINC tried to restart it, it must be trying to use the old PID. So the Mac comes back and says; "HUH... What are you talking about!"

Due to the repeated message "Suspending computation - user is active", is it possible you have set the "Do work while computer is in use?" to "no" under "your preferences/general"?

The Seti application, and all other science apps, are set to run with lowest priority possible. Therefore check to see if something else is running that has higher priority.

I checked and you are running a mac, so I don't know how to do this. On a win c omputer I would suspect AV prog or similar.
If you don't I am sure somebody who does will come along soon.
