Message 70602 - Posted: 1 Jul 2016, 13:48:45 UTC

In the evening on 6/30 I saw the BOINC app listed as not responding and force quit. I was running tasks for climateprediction.net that were each at 99.* completion. On opening the app in the morning, the project reports 0 work done, and no tasks available.

This suggests the work may have completed, but tasks completed did not iterate correctly.

This could also suggest the work was halted/lost in some way.

In BOINC event manager, I see only logs starting at 6:37am today, 7/1, and no logs for prior dates. I'm including these logs below. If someone can help me locate earlier logs, I would appreciate it.

Info

    Running v7.6.22 / wxWidgets 3.0.0
    Mac OS 10.10.5
    Only project running at the time was climateprediction.net

If someone can help me locate earlier logs, I would appreciate it.

Earlier logs should be accessible in a file called 'stdoutdae.txt' (or, on a Mac, possibly simply 'stdoutdae'). One older log rotation called 'stdoutdae.old' could also be available.

The log files will be contained in (from your current log)

Thanks! That's good to know and I greatly appreciate your helpful reply, Richard. :)

Turns out, as of this afternoon there is a log that explains it:

    Fri Jul 1 16:27:13 2016 | climateprediction.net | Project is temporarily shut down for maintenance



Hopefully it'll be able to pick up where it left off when/if that project is available again. Switching to another project for now.

And actually, as I look more closely at my own prior report, I see this was clearly noted in those earlier logs from this morning; I just missed it.

I'll be sure to read more carefully if I see similar disruptions in the future. :)
