1) Questions and Answers : Windows : solution to exit with 0 status? (Message 169407)

Post:
In response to someone's suggestion about "Kill classic, and run S@H and Protein Predictor under BOINC."...

I actually had some upgrading and defragging done -- also put in the optimized SETI into BOINC -- it WAS working just fine -- now I'm getting for both SETI-BOINC and ProteinPredictor the infamous "result
'result' exited with zero status but no finished file" warning MULTIPLE times -- actually followed programs advice and reset/aborted quite a bit! (eek)

[Again, the specs -- 200 MHz processor, 256 Meg memory, 10 gig hard drive, running BOINC 4.45 in tandem with SETI@home 4.18 and mfold 4.28 along with SETI_Classic 3.08 (double eek, yeah i know i should only run one SETI).]

What's funny about the zero status warning is that it always happens when a not-on-network warning pops up, even when i disable network access in BOINC (i'm working off of dial-up)... especially when i've been online even for 10 minutes -- that network warning shows up within 2 hrs of me logging off and then the zero status warning pops up? Is this related to the computer clock problem mentioned in the BOINC Wiki?

You did say a 200 mhz processor with 256 mb of memory. Unless it was a typo the PC must be at least 5 years old. And you are running W2K on it. I'd be very surprised if it will have sufficient memory left for BOINC.

There are various files in the root BOINC directory which you might have a look at - things such as stdoutdae.txt and stderrdae.txt. Maybe you will see some more specific error message with an exit code. Also try looking at the result ID details for your result. This will include the output (if any) to stderr. You can get these from here (you'll need to log in):

If you see any errors reported, post them here and somebody will certainly be able to help.

Well I just had a look at your results, and if the BOINC WIKI is correct, it's because you clicked on "abort result":

before i hit that there was some data being analysed... 50some %, but then all of the sudden it went to 0... thought the data went bad so aborted it. uploaded twice and running into the same problems... upgraded from 4.25 to 4.45 and now i'm getting a notice that says that it'll take 465+ hrs to process... and nothing has been processed. now what? :(


update: i'm running both seti@home and proteinpredictor at the same time... got this weird blurb

8/18/2005 8:20:58 PM|SETI@home|Unrecoverable error for result 27oc03aa.25829.25008.872154.189_2 (Incorrect function. (0x1) - exit code 1 (0x1))

this happened when i had to stop the screen saver portion of boinc from driving my machine haywire -- do you recommend that i run seti at the same time as the protein, or do you recommend that i abort that front and stick with seti classic (am running that too)?

running bonic manager 4.25 with seti@home -- not sure what's going on, but lost the last batch (says computation error) and went through 3 (!) sets of work units... still it won't compute. running a 200 MHz pentium with 256 Megs of memory on Win2k. Still not computing... eek!
