We started a boinc project and have been using the university computers for crunching the workunits.

However I was wondering if there is a boinc api function call to cancel workunits and also any boinc api function to decrease and increase the priority of the existing work units.

I would like to have a daemon that could written in c or c++ that would can remove or bump the priority of new workunits generated based on the results of the previous one.

I've cancelled workunits but do not prefer to do that.

Thanks

I'm not aware of any as this is the first request I've seen to have an API for this. Perhaps if you write a request to the boinc_dev Mailinglist something can be implemented.

Thanks ChristianB. For now I modify the Boinc database Workunit table entries from my daemon and it works so :).
