I've been trying to create 2 run periods - 8:00-18:00 & 21:00-06:00(next day). If I enter the 1st period in every day & the 2nd period in daily overrides, the 1st period will run the 1st day & the 2nd period will run the 1st day. On the second day the computations stop @ 6:00, will not start again @ 8:00 but will start @ 21:00. So, the daily overrides take over & the every day setting is ignored after the 1st day. Don't see anyway to solve this problem.

More start/stop points would be extremely helpful.

8:00-18:00 & 21:00-06:00

Do you use those exact notations? In that case, try to set the first run period to 08:00-18:00

The clock used in BOINC follows the clock set in your OS, and if that clock uses 24 hour notation, it'll need the preceding zero on the 8am notation.

dlk,

It would be fantastic if defining a day of week 'override' as it's called would work as an additive to the general 'every day' values. Many have wanted to be able to define 2 periods for a day, the 21:00 to 06:00 a midnight overlapping trick so to speak, which I know works from own testing to emulate (a) and (c) in this breakup:

(a) 00:00 to 06:00 then (b) 08:00 to 18:00 and finally (c) 21:00 to 00:00

Let us know if you got it working, which if I understand it for a calendar day 24 hour period you effectively wanting the sampled as per above, no computing [or networking] from 06:00 to 08:00 and from 18:00 to 21:00
