Hello once again..

Well I got another (somewhat similar) problem. Thepriority thing is
different, but overal it's the same as the ones I already described.

You want to know the Messages? Let's take a look. It says nothing
regarding this, e.g:

Mon 01 Sep 2008 11:23:45 AM CEST|World Community Grid|Started upload of R00098_3388fcf8c40841f5efd97d84790a713b_01_000_17_0

Tue 02 Sep 2008 11:54:41 AM CEST|World Community Grid|Scheduler request succeeded: got 0 new tasks

So it reported 2 Tasks and 2 Tasks are running (not running) so it does
not fetch new tasks. The whole Message Log just complains about upload
download scheduler request retries and so on. Nothing about a task
that's not running because of any problem.

So now I have 2 stalled Tasks from the Human Protenome folding Project.
The running state changed to 'Running, high priority' but it still does
not calculate the tasks. My CPU is idle. A look into top shows, that no
task is running, but BOINC boincmgr itself is one of the top cpu
eaters.. so something goes wrong with the task and the boincmgr itself.

I could prove it with screenshots, but I already wrote everything down
here, all that I see from the running system.

Well, it's not a crash or something that makes a lot of noise. It just
gets into a strange state and does not recover. This happens from time
to time. I can't tell you more so far.

What log files exist beyond the message log in the gui?

arkibott
