Hope this is the right forum to ask this.

I am running BOINC 5.8.2. I have by no means tested this with a varity of projects (i've had this program for less than week).

Currently, when I suspend to S3, upon resume, I see the following message in BOINC:

--
Task [Insert Task Name] existed with zero status but no 'finished' file

If this happens repeatedly you may need to reset the project
--

This happens regardless of whether I "suspend" the BOINC work before putting my computer to sleep or whether it is actively running at the time. Can anyone advise if this message is normal and what I can do to avoid it.

The message is benign. You don't need to do anything to get rid of it. Its just a message telling you that your Boinc lost contact with the Manager.

All you can do prior to this is exit Boinc completely and not see this message.

Ageless,

sounds good, thanks for the response.

I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't losing work between disk writes when I put the machine in S3 (I have a long disk write delay set in my preferences). If this isn't an issue, then I'm fine simply ignoring the message :)
