An easy way of giving BOINC and RC-75 Cracker the same priority.

First a note: I'm using 4os2 3.04g so it's enhanced START command can
be used. I start the two programs using my startup.cmd file: the
relevant portion is below:

$<begin>

rem Kick off BOINC (runs S <at> H client) and dnetc.exe (runs RC-75)
rem First delay their start so WPS has time to come up

delay 30

cdd g:\os2ut\WarpIn\Apps\BOINC5\bin
start "Seti <at> home" /BG /C /MIN Boinc_client.exe -redirectio

rem Delay half a minute so S <at> H has time to start properly

delay 30

cdd g:\os2ut\bovine
start "RC5-72 Cracker" /FS /BG /C dnetc.exe

The delays are there so that the WPS has time to start properly, and
the other is there so that Seti <at> home have time to start properly
before dnetc.exe is kicked off. 

The both programs gets the same class (idle) but Seti <at> home gets
priority 1 and dnetc.exe gets priority 0.

Are there any gal/guy out there that has managed to start the two
programs as I do but uses some simple utility that can be started

H-E-L-P !!!! Too many downloads!!!

On June 5, 6, and 7 (2007) - received my (usual) downloads to get me a 
full stack of stuff to do.

Today however (6-08-2007) I'm being FLOODED with download!!  Over 60 so 
far (9:50pm PDT).  About 15 were 0-byte files, and I deleted them.  The 
remainder actually are queued!

--->  How do I get this stopped?????  Please!

And more on the way...

Here's what my WU-monitor shows:

I noticed I was downloading a lot of work units also.  Before I could do much
they stopped but I have 50 work units and expect that they can not all be
processed before they expire.  I sure hope the Seti client will check to see if
they have expired before trying to process them.

En easy way to give seti <at> home and RC5-72 the same priority

Hi!

As I wrote in earlier posts I start seti <at> home and RC5-75 from my
startup file (I use 4os203g) so the start line for seti <at> home would
look like this:

cdd g:\os2ut\WarpIn\Apps\BOINC5\bin
start "Seti <at> home" /BG /C /MIN Boinc_client.exe -redirectio

and the one for RC5-72 look like this:

cdd g:\os2ut\bovine
start "RC5-72 Cracker" /FS /BG /C dnetc.exe

The problem is that seti <at> home get class i delta 1 while dnetc.exe only
get class i delta 0 meaning dnetc.exe will crawl as slow as a
amputated centipede. With the program NICE/2 dnetc.exe can get delta 1
but this must be by hand as NICE/2 only recognize process IDs, not the
name of an executable and after a reboot dnetc.exe will not have the
same process ID as before the boot.

Now some gal/guy came up with a solution where you (1) start a program
in startup.cmd, (2) let you add the desired nice paremeters at the END
of the startup line! So with this program working RC5-72 would be
started as before:

start "RC5-72 Cracker" /FS /BG /C dnetc.exe <the nice paremeters>

Adding some extra lines in startup.cmd would be a snap and it would be
nice to know that if the system reboots, both seti <at> home and RC5-72

This is SETI's attempt to clear out the 'ghost' work units.  Unfortunately, the 
scheduler in the client will process the new WU's round-robin in the order of 
first to expire deadline.  So you are going to see a lot of suspended WU's until 
all the newly downloaded WU's reach their expiration and are then resent for 
processing to others with the normal reasonable deadline date.  I got rid of mine 
by detaching from the project back when they first showed up as 'ghosts'  I've 
avoided the re-downloads mercifully.  I had over 150 'ghost' WU's issued to my 
two clients.

Is it NICE/2, i.e. nice004.zip you are referencing to or are there
other NICE programs out on hobbes that I can use? Btw, nice004 doesn't
contain any nicex.exe, so where can I find it?

I first tried placing nicex.exe in my PATH/DPATH, but that didn't cut

I have here:

http://os2power.dnsalias.com/yuri/download/seti2/seti-5-13-0-b1.wpi
http://os2power.dnsalias.com/yuri/download/seti2/boinc-5-4-9-b1.wpi

Install the boinc client first and be sure to proceed EXACTLY as the readme 
says (attach SETI first BEFORE isntalling the seti client!)

Cheers

Here are some fly in the ointment:

How do I access the README file(s) before installing the .wpi packages?
In what order should the BOINC and SETI client be shut down before 
installing the new packages - maybe the Great Mother have arranged it so 
that stopping the BOINC client automagically stops the SETI program too.

Just 'run' the boinc wpi package - it will display the readme at some point 
(and you can still cancel after reading it ;o).

There is only one program to be closed here, the 
"Boinc client/2"

it's a command line program. Maybe you have some monitor app running as well? 
In fact I doubt that it matters what you shut down first. Just close 
everything that you think is related to SETI and install the new version.
