1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : My Wish List - 2 (Message 21504)

My wishes:

1. When BOINC is restarted (for any reason, PC restart, service stopped and then started) allow the ability to restart the tasks that were running before the stop, instead of picking a new task(s) to start running.

2. The ability to control the CPU usage while in use and when idle separately. I have a PC with 8 cores, I normally don't need all 8 and when I do I will stop BOINC. At the moment I can only dedicate X cores 100% of the time or it impacts my regular usage. Once I go home for the night (or a weekend) I want BOINC to take over the PC and use as much as it wants. The only options are RUN WHEN IDLE or RUN ALLWAYS ... I want both! (I know, just because I want it doesn't mean I'll get it)

Thanks.
Bill

Hi All,

This is probably the stupidest question you've ever heard but, when I'm in the Manager console on the Projects tab, and I've selected a Project, I have a number of buttons on the left hand side. None of the buttons in the "Web Sites" section work now, and I'm wondering what does the Manager use to trigger a browser open with the URL? I may be missing a common symbolic link or something, so all I need to know is what does the manager call to open a browser? This used to work in the past so I'm sure I've broken something.

Thanks in advance,
Bill

FYI: I'm running Mandriva 2006, on a Dual Opteron, with Enlightenment as the Window manager. The client is chugging along merrily and my results are being processed and posted normally.
