All projects release their statistics in XML format. But you have to check the projects for that. BOINC itself doesn't release any statistics since it doesn't run any science. |

Guys I need your help. Can anybody post me client_state.xml when you use more than one project. E.g. maybe anybody use BOINC for seti, golatz, climat etc in one time. I strongly needed client_state.xml. Plese, post it to me. My mail: shvaika [at] rambler.ru |

Isn't it easier for you to (temporarily) attach to a couple of projects? |

Heads up, there seems to be a problem with the installer of your program, please see this post: I install boinc monitor 4.6, the only message I got is: |

Problem not in my gadget. Problem with client_state.xml file. Be sure. Long time I investigate this. See my answer here |

I've just looked through a couple of client_state.xml files for multiple-project computers. The only semi colon characters I found were separating the input file names, in the <command_line> of Einstein workunits, and the <stderr_txt> of Einstein results. Where, exactly, is your gadget expecting to find a semi-colon? |

Where, exactly, is your gadget expecting to find a semi-colon? I use standard Microsoft.XMLDOM ActiveXObject I don't know why it can't parse XML. I try to open wrong (for my gadget) client_state.xml. Safari and Chrome browsers inform me about error too. Don't run it in browser. I contact with one of developer Dr. David Anderson today and post him wrong client_state.xml. Waiting for respond. Be patience. I hope soon we fix this problem. |

The XML BOINC uses isn't real XML, but pseudo XML. Don't open it with an XML editor, or write it with one. If you want to open it, use a bog standard ASCII editor. |

How I can parse XML in this case. I think you wrong. I see in case error XML file have two 0x0D symbol. In case good 0x0D,0x0A. I think this is problem. Wait for Dr. Anderson answer. I think all will be OK soon :) |

In any event, wouldn't it be better practice for your gadget to obtain BOINC's state by GUI RPC (protocol)? You are currently reading a file which is continually being re-written by BOINC. There is a danger that the file may be inaccessible to you during re-writes, or worse that BOINC's operations may fail because you are holding the file open at the critical moment. (And if you use GUI RPC, it is easier to extend the gadget to be network aware, and hence able to monitor remote computers. That would be welcomed by many in the BOINC community.) |

Answer Dr. David Anderson the client_state.xml problem is that it contains non-ASCII characters (> 127). Wait for changing... |
