Countdown to HCC Completion Thread!

[wplachy]

There is something you can do to increase your chances of pulling repair HCC tasks.

In Windows you can set up a scheduled task to have BOINC issue an update command every x minutes. That will get around the problem of BOINC taking increasingly longer times between updates when it receives no work from the server.

Set up the task to be executed as:
boinccmd.exe --project www.worldcommunitygrid.org update

The command must be started in the BOINC program directory.

Also, do not issue it any less than every 3 minutes. WCG increased the delay between updates from 11 seconds to 2:01 minutes. If you issue a update while the delay is in effect the server will reject the update and you'll never get any work.

The same thing can be done in Linux but because of my limited Linux knowledge I've never been able to get a daemon to work the way I want it to, but if you know Linux it looks like it should be pretty straight forward to do.
