I wrote a small shellscript which renices Seti every 5 minutes per cron.

I would love a copy, if it would work with OS.X...


The script is using /usr/bin/renice... and I have no clue if this somethin similar exists for OSX. The script is rather simple.... "pidof" determines the pid of Seti and renice does the renicing of this pid.

Hi All,

I am having the same problem as Loci but with boinc client 5.8.16 for Linux/x86 and 5.10.2 for Linux/x86, S@H client KWSN-R2.2B2-SSE2-P4 running on Ubuntu 6.10 and i have to do the same thing and manually set the S@H client to nice 19 every time it starts a WU.

I wrote a small shellscript which renices Seti every 5 minutes per cron. It's only a quick&dirty workaround... but it helps...

Hi,

after the last few days without work I finally got some units and got my CPU busy again. A little bit too busy.

I updated my boinc-client to boinc_5.8.17_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu and my S@H-client to KWSN-R2.2B-64bit-SSE2-generic. Starting is done via init-script and start-stop-manager on a Gentoo Linux box.
No matter what how I start the Boinc-Client, via script or directly on the console I get the following behaviour:
In the script a nicelevel of 19 is set and the Boinc-Client perfectly starts up with that level. But the S@H-client simply seems to ignore this and starts with level 0. When I manually set it to 19 it "resets" itself to 0 on the next WU.
I couldn't find anything why the client behaves that way. The old client I had (5.1* as far as I remember) started the S@H-client with the same nice-level I defined for himself.

Can someone give me a hint where to search or how to solve it? Please don't refer to google and RTFM... I already searched there. ;)

Thanks so far
Loci

Just a message of support for SETI and it's staff.

I've been with this project for 8 years this month and, like many of the core supporters, I'm here for the long haul.

Downtime/equipment failures are par for the course and simply bumps in the road.

When things are back up and running smoothly I'll still be here and will still be crunching.

Keep up the good work. I know you are doing your best.


Full ACK.
My last server contact was on May 16th and I'm out of work now for about 2 or 3 days. Could someone please give an update what's currently happening and what you're working on? I think everyone in here is curious about how things are going their ways...
