Had issue with IP access (reset router) but Boinc has deffered communications for 1 week 5 day ....

How can I force it to start tricking now?? I have tried
-return_results_immediately and -update_prefs

Thanks

Hi,

Open client_state.xml. Search for the XML tag under the tag that belongs to CPDN (you can check this by looking at the tag under the tag). The value enclosed with in the tag is the absolute time in the future when BOINC will communicate again. It is in the format returned by gettimeofday() function.
Run "date +%s" and note the big number returned by it. Add 600 to the number and put the result in the tag. BOINC should communicate to the server in 10 minutes.

Example:
$ date +%s
1107899069

Change
1108357200
to
1107899669

Hope this helps.

Sarav,

thank you for the reply.

> Open client_state.xml.

I think you'd have to shut down the computation for the model, right? Or can it be done even while CPDN is running?

Hi - now I'm confused. I have one Linux box that is daily sending trickles but another that appears to be running (CPU maxed out on hadsm3...) for several days with no returns at all. The min_rpc_time says "0" for both....?? I stoped and restarted the non trickling one with "-update_prefs climateprediction.net" but it did not report anything.

Hi,

Even if the reply is 0, follow the steps I mentioned in my earlier post and that should help. Sorry for not mentioning the tag name "min_rpc_time" on the earlier post.

leggewie, yes BOINC (not just CPDN) should be stopped before you do this change.
