I have my boinc machine offline most of the time so I see a lot of the above message. Now, the machine has completed a work unit and the darn machine is just setting idle waiting for another 5 days to connect.

I\'ve tried to reset the connection via the command line but no joy. How can I kick start this beast?

In command-line, you can start boinc with: ./boinc -return_results_immediately
In the gui, select CPDN and press the update button.

I tried pretty much all the command line parameters that seemed appliciple. Any other thoughts? I hate wasting these CPU cycles......

I\'m not a Linux person, so this is just a wild idea.
Try setting your clock/calendar forward 4 days, 8 hours, and then restarting BOINC. And reset to the present time afterwards.

I would try a newer version of BOINC, 4.19 is really outdated.

(Don\'t forget to make a backup of your BOINC directory first)

This is what I do:
Stop the client. Open client_state.xml with a text editor. Go down 53 lines to min_rpc_time and change the value to 0(zero).
Start the client and it will connect immediately.
