California time is UTC-7 (I think)
so it's ~8:30 monday morning for the S@h staff and almost the beginning of a new UC-Berkeley semester.
After a few convos to discuss the weekend and the current issue, I am fairly confident they will find at least a partial solution before the end of office hours.
Hopefully all is running as before, before Tuesday's scheduled maintenance.

Keep in mind there are now other very minor issues that could be the indication of something stranger:
1. Beta project also ran out of work well before S@h main;
2. Server status update page hasn't been updated since: 21 Aug 2016, 17:10:06 UTC

Cheers,
RobG :-)

@all Windows 7-10 power users:

If you are concerned about running out of work today
and you know how to do a batch script (.cmd),
here's a quick and sloppy way:
@echo off
cls

echo. boinccmd --project setiathome.berkeley.edu update
"C:\Program Files\BOINC\boinccmd" --project setiathome.berkeley.edu update
rem  Wait 5.5mins by using Ping command
echo. wait 5.5mins
PING -n 330 127.0.0.1>nul

echo. boinccmd --project setiathome.berkeley.edu update
"C:\Program Files\BOINC\boinccmd" --project setiathome.berkeley.edu update
rem  Wait 5.5mins by using Ping command
echo. wait 5.5mins
PING -n 330 127.0.0.1>nul

Enjoy...but please don't abuse the server with it.
I'm just sharing this with the intent to have it used (and modified) for the current trickle of nonVLARs for power rigs that are currently running dry on tasks
...in the spirit of: "Keep Calm and carry Crunch On"

Cheers,
RobG :-D

Hey BlindaTRON!
If:
1. you have any tasks left on CPU or GPU queues; and
2. are using linux or Windows 7 to 10
then try Mr Kevvy's prog (that canadian in 3 position behind Freezing)

If you use Windows 7 to 10, there also a front-end batch-file-type script (.cmd)
that I wrote (available in same thread) to automate everything around Mr. K's prog.

[edit]Mr K's prog sends Guppi to CPU, and nonVLARs to GPU so only use it immediately if you want some of those task types to be move to the device where they are better processed than the other task type.
If for some weird reason, you only have left:
1. nonVLARs on GPU queue, or
2. guppi on CPU queue,
his prog won't do you any good right now.[/e]

. . Keep calm and enjoy the ride ....

. . There are small numbers of Arecibo work trickling through, leave your netork active and try Stubbles script. Even if it only half fills your cache it will keep you going a while longer.

. . At the moment there is a complete dearth of Guppis, so it is very likely he may have only nonVLARs left on his system/s.

Jeff Buck just posted the following in another thread
If any of you hungering for guppis happen to have any recent "lost" or "ghost" tasks in your task lists, you might have some guppis there and there's always the "report the same task twice trick" available to retrieve them....

The trick doesn't apply to just Guppis.

Hope all these little bits help...while the Arecibo tasks slowly trickle through.

Good luck!
RobG

[edit]PS: OMG, I just realized the trick could might be useful to NEVER run dry during Tuesday maintenance!

Actually, Guppis started flowing again about 25 minutes ago. Look at the Panic Mode thread in Number Crunching.
