I finaly have a monitor installed that seems to work. It shows that a work unit appears to have been about 62% completed. I let the computer run over night and its still at the same place. I guess boinc needs to be restarted? So how is this done? Thanks Alan |

From a console, run the command 'ps x | grep "boinc"'. In the results, you'll see the executable. Check the PID and issue a kill command, e.g.,: trane@saturn:/mnt/music/etree/ph1997-12-29.u89.shnf$ ps x | grep "boinc" 1447 ? S 0:00 /bin/sh /home/trane/boincprog/startboincprog 1448 ? S 0:04 ./boincprog /home/trane/boinc 1630 pts/4 S+ 0:00 tail -f boinc/boinclog 1631 pts/5 S+ 0:00 tail -f boinc/boincerr 31416 ? S 0:00 /bin/sh -c cd /home/trane/boinc; ./boinc_4.19_i686-pc-linux-gnu 1>>./boinclog 2>>./boincerr 31417 ? S 0:00 ./boinc_4.19_i686-pc-linux-gnu 10211 pts/2 R+ 0:00 grep boinc trane@saturn:/mnt/music/etree/ph1997-12-29.u89.shnf$ kill 31417 |

I did ps -aef and found the boinc and boincprog running. However the boincprog is stuck at 62% and does not change. I tried to stop it and restart and it and the same display came back. I supose maybe boinc isn't running??? Maybe its a Mandrake / SMP issue? No idea. Thanks Alan |

BOINCprog will happily show percent finished for an active task regardless of whether BOINC itself is running due to the way the client_state.xml file is written. Since you found boinc_4.19_i686-pc-linux-gnu in your process list, you can be certain that BOINC is running. BOINCprog, however, does not fully support SMP or HyperThreaded systems. It reports only the first running task from the Active Task set. It is possible that a non-visible BOINC task is stuck and, therefore, although the system is being loaded, no actual work is done and scheduling fails. I've seen this a lot with 4.16 and higher core clients. I recommend that you 'kill' BOINC and restart it. |
