	After reading some old BOINC logs of mine, I find some useful messages missing in newer versions of BOINC. Since 5.8.x we have two times "starting task" (I still don't see any sense in that), "resuming task", "restarting task" and "computation finished". But while switching from one task to another one, there used to be the following message: 2006-09-12 15:52:03 [SETI@home Beta Test] Pausing task 01my06aa.17871.305.972158.3.126_0 (left in memory) Next examples: 2006-10-18 09:44:06 [---] Using earliest-deadline-first scheduling because computer is overcommitted. 2006-10-18 09:44:06 [---] Suspending work fetch because computer is overcommitted. 2006-10-18 12:46:24 [---] Resuming round-robin CPU scheduling. 2006-11-25 18:03:15 [---] Allowing work fetch again. OK, the EDF scheduling has become more complicated with 5.8.x, but it would be great, if there was at least a message when work fetch is suspended/allowed. And last but not least (and -unfortunately- NOT missing ;)) something about the error messages. I think it was in some of the 5.8 versions... Error messages where easy to see, as they were displayed in red. Now you might not see some error messages, because all messages are black. :\|

OK, the EDF scheduling has become more complicated with 5.8.x, but it would be great, if there was at least a message when work fetch is suspended/allowed. They just added in a new message for this in 5.10.16. "High Priority", IIRC. I don't have a log example though. And last but not least (and -unfortunately- NOT missing ;)) something about the error messages. I think it was in some of the 5.8 versions...

I think there might be a few messages still displayed in red, but I'm not 100% certain on it. ____________ Kathryn :o) The BOINC FAQ Service The Unofficial BOINC Wiki The Trac System More BOINC information than you can shake a stick of RAM at.

It shows as Running, high priority in the Tasks tab only. [error] messages are displayed in red. ____________ Jord -BOINC FAQ Service -BOINC 7.0 FAQ Go, seize the day, wake up and say: This is an Extraordinary life! -- Asia, An Extraordinary Life

	Error messages or still displayed in red. They are no longer displaying 'informational' messages in red as this was freaking out people who didn't realize they weren't error as such.
