Thank you for all the work. I had just built three new FreeBSD(old) machines for seti when the project went off line. Lol, timing is everything. I thought I had done something wrong with setting up seti because I had no wu's for those machines.

But all is well for both the seti project and all the machines I have crunching numbers.

Again, thank you.

Probably the easiest way would be to add separate 'work' preferences, via your SETI account page, for this machine.

Log into your SETI account > Preferences > When and how BOINC uses your computer > Computing preferences > Add separate preferences for work

Once your adjusted work preferences are added, select the target computer from your list. Go to its summary and change the location from 'home' to 'work' (don't forget to click 'update'). The next time the target computer contacts SETI, it should switch to its new settings.


Thank you. I was in my accounts and preferences looking to see if it could be done there. I missed the ability of changing where the computer was located in that list. Very much appriceated...

I now have seti setup on my unix box at home to help contribute. This was done via the command line because it is a file server.

I also have a buisness server that is unix that I would like to use also... But, I would like to set different preferences for this machine(cpu usage, process's). How do you do this??? In the xml files and then run the boinc_cmd update?

Any and all help is appriceated.

Dan
