Hi, are there any postings or documentation on how to submit a job to a batch scheduler that will request and service a single unit of work from a boinc project? I'd like to submit a job into a Condor pool, a Windows CCS cluster, and a linux cluster that will connect to rosetta@home for example and complete one unit of work (or some specified number of work units in serial). thx.

I don't have a ready-to-use solution for you but one observation might be interesting :

Since the latest update of the Einstein Linux application, my outdated BOINC CC 4.19 does not sign the shared memory properly in order to be recognized by the project application anymore.

For some reason, Einstein is still working well in standalone mode and the CC does still accept the results. The only things that are different :

The reported CPU time is always 0 (but that's not relevant as E@H has fixed credits)

The stdout of the result has those lines :
=========================
2008-01-08 10:20:40.1536 [normal]: Start of BOINC application 'einstein_S5R3_4.20_i686-pc-linux-gnu'.
Unrecognized XML in parse_init_data_file: core_version
Skipping: 419
Skipping: /core_version
Can't set up shared mem: -1
Will run in standalone mode.
=========================

If you would use boinccmd to stop a result with "Leave applications in memory while suspended?" set to NO, the result would still sit in the slot and might be ready to be crunched by a different computer in standalone mode.
