so now get fancy and start a 3 copy of boinc using another port, same format as the 2nd

Im getting from the second instance of boinc_client:

21-Apr-2015 06:43:40 [---] GUI RPC bind to port 31416 failed: 98
21-Apr-2015 06:44:10 gstate.init() failed
Error Code: -180

Looks like it's a possibly a port conflict with the first instance???
I grepped around for the RPC details in the existing XML files, but don't see any references.

may not work if seti is no longer attached

may have to make change at mw@h

I don't have the override file. Only "global_prefs.xml". PS, these files are really hard to read...

Im really pissed again...
My 128 core box is only running 16 threads.
I just can't seem to figure out why.

[Correction to above post

"Suspend work if no mouse/keyboard activity in last 0 minutes"

Suspend work if no mouse/keyboard activity in last  --- minutes 
Needed to enter low-power mode on some computers	

I don't see anything like this - "Stop work after computer is idle for: nn minutes" in any of my project computing preferences. I have gone to every project and set the following (or its equivalent)

"Suspend work while computer is on battery power? yes
Suspend work while computer is in use? yes
Suspend GPU work while computer is in use? yes
'In use' means mouse/keyboard activity in last 1 minutes
Suspend work if no mouse/keyboard activity in last 1 minutes

Which all seem consistent with my local settings anyway.

For the record, my projects are

SETI
Rosetta
MilkyWay
Cosmology
Einstein
Asteroids

Can you post another link? I have no access.

I'm sure there are a lot of people who have SSDs and would want to move the working directory (without any hassle) to a location on an HDD. Why isn't there a simple option to do so?

To test some config I created such app_config.xml file on SETI beta:

<app_config>
   <app>
      <name>astropulse_v7</name>
      <max_concurrent>10</max_concurrent>
      <gpu_versions>
          <gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage>
	<cpu_usage>0.01</cpu_usage>
      </gpu_versions>
    </app>
  <app_version>
 	  <app_name>astropulse_v7</app_name>
 	<plan_class>opencl_ati_100</plan_class>
	[color=red]<cmdline>-cpu_lock</cmdline>[/color]
   </app_version>
</app_config>

Now 2 GPU instances running as desired, but app seems doesn't get param passed via <smdline> tag. Before using app's own abilities to pass params I would like to know what is wrong in this case.
