1) Message boards : Questions and problems : Delayed start of tasks (Message 37496)

Is there a way to delay the start of the task queue during startup? My laptop has a few big fat bloated applications that start when the machine boots, then go dormant. They have to be there, I can't change them!

What I would really like to have this the ability to ask BOINC to wait 3 minutes before firing up background tasks. I did a quick test.

I am running BOINC with Rosetta / SETI projects attached. Booting with BOINC starting and Rosetta as the task, it takes about 4 minutes before the disk settles down and memory usage settles. Without BOINC, it takes about 2 minutes. The machine is swapping like crazy (4 GB of RAM). If I start BOINC manually after the machine settles, the combined time is about 2 minutes 15 seconds before all cores are running at full speed.

Mostly this is an issue with not being able to use my machine for the extra 2 minutes.

Thanks

I have several machines spread out around my home all running boinc. I would like to configure them so I can check on their status from a single machine.

The boinc documentation on setting up remote client access is inadequate. Does anyone have a pointer to a how-to file explaining the contents of the various .cfg files I need? At the moment, I tried putting all of the IP addresses in the gui_rpc_auth.cfg as stated in the documentation. Didn't work.

Thanks
Kevin
