Hello,
I've downloaded cpulimit for linux from add-ons.
I've runed the command: make and then: './cpulimit-P /path_to_Boinc/boinc -l 35'
Now I can't run Boinc becouse I have the load on cpu at 98%. Still only 2-3 aplicațions are running and it has to be only 56% load.
I've tryed every thing I know but still this problem.
I don't know what it done so I can go back to the normal state of computing.

'./cpulimit-P /path_to_Boinc/boinc -l 35'

That's wrong anyway, as BOINC just manages things, it does not use the CPU (perhaps 1% every so often), it does not do any of the science. That's done by the science applications that you download from the projects. Those are then the ones you want to limit.

So then it'll be './cpulimit-P /path_to_Boinc/Boinc/projects/project_name/project_binary -l 35

Anyway, this is a third party add-on, it's not something that BOINC or Berkeley make or develop in any form whatsoever. So you'll have to contact its maker about this.

The maker is Angelo Marletta, he's got a Sourceforge page at http://cpulimit.sourceforge.net/, with at the bottom his email address. I'd say, ask him how to fix it.

Yes. The problem was from EDGeS@Home project.
The hungarian project for electrical energy, seems that have done an aplicațion for drog discovery that go pass the option in Boinc for load idle time on CPU.
I reseted the project and 'no new task'.

Usefull command on Linux: 'top' to monitor running process.
