Is there something I can change in one of the XML files that will tell CPDN it's ok to connect now intead of waiting for the full 4+ days it thinks is necessary? Thanks!

C ... assuming that you are running CPDN under BOINC .. You can force an update by rightclicking the "climateprediction.net" entry on the Projects tab and selecting "update". ID: 7036 · Reply Quote

After I've done the start with '-update_prefs', the Linux BOINC V4.13 client __still__ continues the "Deferring communication for 4 days ..." countdown. mikus . ID: 7059 · Reply Quote

To do this, you need to shut down the client, open the client_state.xml file with a text editor and find the line (50 to 55 lines down from the top) that references min_rpc_time. Change the number that appears on the line (between the min_rpc_time and the /min_rpc_time) to zero. save the changes and then restart the client with the -update_prefs flag. This will clear any long waits and exchange all waiting data. ID: 7061 · Reply Quote
