I have noticed an odd occurance - on a couple of PC's running CEP2 mixed with other projects, the WU's process OK and upload, but the moment the upload is completed, the PC shuts down....It only seems to occur with CEP units, but it does have a knock-on as this also impacts the other units being crunched in parallel too and as this results in lost time...there is a big negative all round.
----------------------------------------Has anyone else noticed this rather odd behaviour lately?? It has only appeared over the last couple of weeks or so - and not to any obvious pattern either.  [Edit 1 times, last edit by JSYKES at Dec 4, 2010 9:42:03 PM] |

this is an interesting bug. never heard of it before. however, I do know that there is a settle in the config, that will shut boinc down after it finish a WU, maybe it is related.
----------------------------------------can you post the content of your config file? maybe someone can help. the file is called cc_config.xml (i personally just recently learned about the file myself (from another post), so I have limited knowledge)  |

I have noticed my ThinkPad goes into sleep mode from time to time, but I had never associated it with CEP2. Since that is al this laptop is running besides my internet usage, there might be a connection.

Has anyone else noticed this rather odd behaviour lately?? It has only appeared over the last couple of weeks or so - and not to any obvious pattern either. "...the moment the upload is completed" is rather inexplicable unless you toyed with the BOINC startup options or cc_config.xml. Not knowing your version, BOINC's latest can run just one result or be told to shut down itself WHEN there are no more results left. It does not have the capacity to shutdown computers themselves... never has, never will. The computer/OS can be programmed to take an action upon commencement of idle state. Is that shutdown as in "poof" instantaneous or a controlled one? If "poof", hardware and OS integrity checks are needed. The uploads take several minutes maybe the NIC/Wifi card getting hot, but to go out AFTER finishing? Plz find the stdoutdae.txt file in the BOINC data_dir (path printed in client startup log, some have a hard time to find as it could be hidden in your file explorer requiring to type it out). In the file scroll to where you know the client shut down after such an CEP2 upload event and copy /paste some 30 lines from before and after the shutdown into a reply. Also there could be a stderrdae.txt. Look in there too and post copy is suspicious. Note the time stamp on the file as there are none inside. If same as shutdown time is is likely related. --//--
