Windows 7. Boinc 7.0.28 (x64)

I thought I'd wrap several calls to boinccmd in python to do scheduling that's more complicated than what's in the client.

boinccmd --get_tasks works fine and I parse it in python.

OK, now need to test suspending a task.

C:\Program Files\BOINC>boinccmd --task climateprediction.net hadam3p_eu_2qjs_196
7_1_008183034_1 suspend

C:\Program Files\BOINC>echo %errorlevel%
0

seems to have no effect and there don't seem to be any messages to that effect. Double-check the task name; try it on other tasks - all to no effect.

What if I suspend the whole project? That works and I can resume as well. So the project level works but the task level doesn't.

Is there a log file for the service/daemon anywhere? Not that I can find.

Maybe I need to --project_attach except that in the several yrs I've used boinc I've never been sure what my boinc authorization is? It makes an account boinc_master upon install but doesn't ask for a password nor does it give me one.

So far, baffled.

C:\Program Files\BOINC>boinccmd --task climateprediction.net hadam3p_eu_2qjs_1967_1_008183034_1 suspend

I'm not sure if it will make a difference but try:
C:\Program Files\BOINC>boinccmd --task http://climateprediction.net/ hadam3p_eu_2qjs_1967_1_008183034_1 suspend
