Hello karrash,
You can see what we have available in My Grid - Device Manager - Device Profiles - (selected profile). It is possible to set the UD client to not run or communicate on Saturday and Sunday but our BOINC client does not yet have the ability to select days not to communicate on. All that I can suggest is using BOINCview to allow easy control of a cluster of computers and shutting them all down from one computer for the weekend. Lawrence |

You probably don't need to do that. Simply make sure BOINC is queuing enough work to last over the weekend, and it will reconnect when you have a network connection available again.
If you really need this feature, then it is being added in the next version of BOINC. I don't know if the feature works yet. |

I'll see what the new BOINC feature does when it comes along. I tried the UD scheduler a couple of years ago and didn't like it at all. Leaving things at 24/7 was still the best way. (UDMonitor is a third party addon to queue more workunits).
----------------------------------------Suppose you change it so there is no connection on a weekend. If a situation came along where you actually WANTED to send something in on Saturday, you would be out of luck. The server would refuse to connect since you previously told it not to. The UD system really runs things in a sequential manner, requiring a connect each time to clear each workunit BOINC handles things more automatically. If you don't want to connect, simply don't connect, assuming that there are enough workunits to carry you over.

BOINC is easier to handle. In BOINC Manager there are three options: network activity always available / network activity based on preferences / network activity suspended. There are similar options for crunching times.
So you see it is easy to override the behaviour you have specified when you need to. |
