I have my preferences set to run while I am out for the day and also to run while late at night. However, I am now finding that even though the client indicates that the work has suspended because of "time of day", the CPU clock continues to show progress, and if a task manager is displayed, it shows several of the tasks running, taking up precise memory and cpu. Any ideas?

BOINC version and operating system?

---

And what projects?

Kathryn :o)

Version 5.10.45

Projects include: Einstein@Home, SETI@Home, uFluids, PrimeGrid, climateprediction.net.

I've also noticed two boincmgr.exe running in the task manager.

Did you set these preferences through the web site preferences, or through BOINC Manager's advanced preferences?
Is boinctray.exe allowed to run, is it running?

Can you post relevant messages?

---

There is a bonic.exe running and two bonicmgr.exe running. There is no bonictray executing.

I used the client interface to set my preferences.

Here are some messages right before I have the time set to suspend work:

At the bottom, I just added more disk space allocation. You can see that at 3:30pm that computations are suspended, however, PrimeGride, Einstein@Home, SETI@Home and something called had3mctransum is running.

Can you post the contents of your global_prefs_override.xml file, please?

At the bottom, I just added more disk space allocation. You can see that at 3:30pm that computations are suspended, however, PrimeGride, Einstein@Home, SETI@Home and something called had3mctransum is running.

If it's: hadcm3transum, then that's a Coupled Ocean climate model.

And if you have 2 managers running, that may be why your projects are still running; you've only suspended one.
