    I have a task for Gamma-ray pulsar search that seems to be stuck. For over a day, it has shown 100% complete, --- for estimates time remaining. The elapsed time goes to just over 21:36 and then cycles back to just over 21:33. it is running hsgamma_FGRP5_1.11_x86_64-apple-darwin__FGRPSSE. The work unit name is LATeah1087F_1368.0_3179805_0.0. I am on a Macbook Pro with macOS Monterey 12.0.1.

    Is there anything I can do to get it t complete or do I need to abort it?

      I've had a few do that to me in the past, I was never able to recover the task so I just went ahead and aborted it.  (I'm running Windows so you may have more options, but at some point your just wasting power, money and time.)

        Paul,

        Try and suspend the task, wait a few seconds, typically I wait 10, and then resume.

        Then give it some time and see if it resumes or finishes.  If not, then abort it.

          I tried pausing it and after a good wait, close to 30 seconds, I restarted it. It is still behaving the same way. I guess I will abort it.

          I also previously tried stopping all of Boinc and restarting it. That also made no difference.

          I had a similar problem on the cancer markers project at World community globe. In that case, the looping started shortly after it started, not when it finished. I dropped that project until someone can fix it.

          I was a seti at home user from 1995 until it shut down and i never remember an issue like this.

            I agree, I never had an issue with a hung task in SETI.  It is a real problem when this happens as it can completely tie up your PC wasting boatloads of resources.  I don't think I've ever had one hang on the GPU, always seemed to be the CPU tasks.
