I'm an energy-efficient user, meaning I shut down my computer when I stop at night, and turn it on again when I am ready to start up again. I am dualbooting, meaning BOINC (with CPDN) is installed both in Windows XP Home and Linux SuSe 9.2 64bit. Whenever BOINC is running in XP, something causes the OS to give me the dreaded BSOD, meaning BOINC is shutdown illegally so naturally that causes error messages. Therefore, whenever I'm running XP, that BOINC-client is now suspended most of the time. In Linux I am using a special script that automatically adds BOINC as a service when I start it up and provides a '2005-04-18 22:01:35 [---] Received signal 18
2005-04-18 22:01:35 [---] Received signal 15
2005-04-18 22:01:35 [---] Exit requested by user', I suspect, clean shutdown of the service when I stop. The script also provides a log. Even though Linux crashes are extremely rare, I got the following message from CPDN on April 2nd: 'Error: Restart files for dataout/restart.year not found
Giving up, this result exceeded crash count for available restart files.' On April 18th, with another model, this one 'Error: Restart files for dataout/restart.year not found
Giving up, this result exceeded crash count for available restart files.'. This way I am NEVER going to get any credit, so I might as well detach myself from the project, which I am seriously considering at this time. I NEVER have/had this kind of problem with Seti@home, but then again, the fact their data packets are a lot smaller probably has something to do with that.
