I tried to find a way to do it among the multiple options of the .xml config files but I couldn't. I would like to keep QuakeCatcher tasks running day and night while I would stop the rest of the projects during the day. This is the opposite of what I'm asking, but both things could be done with the exact answer. Thanks ID: 59641 ·

New in 7.5 But do note that the feature isn't implemented yet in current versions of BOINC - you will need to wait for the next round of test releases, and your feedback will be useful. ID: 59642 ·

It's completely out of funding and running on fumes. Its servers may be turned off any day now. ID: 59647 ·

I don't know how I didn't think about BOINCCMD and an script. I will check the <dont_suspend_nci> option in the cc_config.xml file (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/client_configuration) when it is available and I will post the results here, as long as QuakeCatcher resists to that point...
