    Hello all,

    I would like to capture a WU in order to try to find why Albert 4.51 (& 4.55) finishes with an error on my linux system. I would like to do this because I do not want to pollute the project with bad WUs because of my tests.

    Is there a way to capture a WU, make boinc crunch it and recrunch it at will withtout returning bad results ?

    Thanks in advance.

    Bernard.

      Have an unstarted result on the host.
      Suspend that result
      Set all projects to “no new work�
      Upload and report all work except the suspended result.
      Suspend network activity.
      Exit boinc.
      Copy the entire boinc folder to a safe place.

      Then you want to do a test you exit boinc and rename the boinc folder to something else (tex. Boinc2)
      Copy the boinc folder you have in a safe place to the programs directory.
      Copy the application you want to test to that boinc folder
      Start boinc manager

      Edit. This is how I would do it on my windows system. I guess it would work the same with a Linux system.

      Then you're really interested in a subject, there is no way to avoid it. You have to read the Manual.
