1) Message boards : BOINC client : Proposal: timer for enabling computation (Message 97752)

Good point galbezalel.
In addition to your suggestions I could provide a lot more computing time, if it could be possible to differ the settings between a couple of time periods.

Right now I may only adjust if I allow computing or not with certain restricitions of cpu limits and so on.
Due to highly noisy fan activities I've stopped computing while I'm working. But if I could adjust that at least one or two cpu's are allowed to work whilst working and even more while I'm not working, we could easily increase the number of tasks computed.

Thanks to those who are able to implement such improvements.

As promised, here my short feedback (I found a way to reach the back of my computer, even with injury):

It worked absolutely without any problems in the way Ageless has decribed it. The projects have continued exactly where they stopped before the uninstallation.

So thanks again for your answer. I'm very happy about the result.

Thanks for your detailed answer Ageless.
I'll try it in the exact manner you described and give feedback about the result - this may take a while. I just injured myself yesterday and are not able to move so much now, especially not crawling around behind the computer to plug in a SSD-stick.

@SekeRob2: One more reason for me to switch to a SSD-drive. ;)

Wondering that I couldn't find anything of the following question by using the search engine.

How can I force BOINC to use a certain (hard) drive? At start up of Boinc it tells me in the messages, that the data directory is located on C:\. But how can I change that? I couldn't find an appropriate setting.

What I want to do is, to have BOINC data located on a SSD-Drive like a USB-Stick. The reason is that Boinc seams to ignore the setting "write onto hard drive every 60 seconds" (translated from german by myself - may differ to the the original english saying). In case of the SSD-drive it wouldn't have my conventional hard drive in use all the time - especially while working on a LHC@Home task it uses the hard disc in steps of single seconds.

I'm using BOINC 6.10.60 on a Win XP Professional x86 system. Guess, no more informations are necessary for my question?

Aaah what I forgot: I adjust all the settings in my local BOINC client.

Thanks for answering.
