Something funny here. Nearly three days CPU time and zero credit?

It used to be that the credit script was run only once a week early UTC Sunday. But I thought that had changed recently. Respond back to this thread if no credit shows up by Monday and we'll alert Andy to the problem.

Ok, that's something I wasn't aware of. I'll keep an eye out for a weekly update.

Pretty certain it still just runs once a week. I haven't had any work for a while but looking at the steps on the graph from BOINC manager makes it pretty clear that if it has changed it is only in the past week.

Looks like your tasks got their credit earlier today, so it still must be running once a week on UTC Sunday.

With one resent task the credit updated today, so the script appears to be running. With the latest price of 'leccy' and no tasks, i'd set the host to 'sleep' after an hour. Interestingly, the Linux VM and CPDN task has not complained or aborted with 'sleep'. I've now reset the 'sleep' setting.

On testing site, Andy has a script that uses a lot less resources and so runs daily rather than weekly. The idea had been that this would be brought to the main site but not sure what has happened to it. May be that the work for OpenIFS or something else has taken over or that the new script still used too many resources for running daily with the vastly bigger numbers here. If I find out anything I will report back.

I think Andy is just overloaded and less urgent things sit there until he has time. I believe the credit for OpenIFS has not entirely been finalized so it may be added retrospectively.
