|  [BOINC] Preferences Override XML
I just joined the SETI@Home team here at BBR.
Since the scheduler system is currently having problems with the prefs being loaded from the Berkeley server, I wrote a global_prefs_override XML file as described here:
»boinc.berkeley.edu/prefs_override.php
What I'm doing is assigning BOINC to third shift, 11PM to 7AM local time, allowing it to have full use of my AMD X2 4400+ system. So far, it seems to be working but I wanted to make sure that I did not need to enter the time in UTC.
Please take a look and offer any suggestions or corrections I may need:
<global_preferences>

Finally got this sorted out. It turned out that when I first put the XML file in place, I had two instances of BOINC running. Not sure how that happened.
So, I restarted the computer, re-edited the XML to include:
<start_hour>23:00</start_hour>
<end_hour>07:00</end_hour>
I checked the log this morning and BOINC started and stopped promptly at those times. |
