Starting a while ago, the client creates a job_log_projecturl.txt file for each project with every task that has completed. It doesn't distinguish between those uploaded or not, it just lists all completed tasks.


If you want to check what each of those files are, then create a copy of the client_state.xml file in another location and open it with a text editor (Don't open the original client_state.xml, especially when the client is running). You can then search the client_state.xml copy for each file name to see if it is a file to be uploaded. Here are a couple examples of files to be uploaded taken from my client_state.xml copy:

<name>ugm1_ugm1_02575_2365_1_0</name>
<nbytes>977251.000000</nbytes>
<max_nbytes>209715200.000000</max_nbytes>
<md5_cksum>631276bc2097d8247fa33d85237afde8</md5_cksum>
<status>1</status>
<gzip_when_done/>
<upload_url>https://grid.worldcommunitygrid.org/boinc/wcg...andler</upload_url>

<name>MCM1_0009130_0580_0_0</name>
<nbytes>0.000000</nbytes>
<max_nbytes>15728640.000000</max_nbytes>
<status>0</status>
<gzip_when_done/>
<upload_url>https://grid.worldcommunitygrid.org/boinc/wcg...andler</upload_url>

Note the different status for each. 0 means that the file has not been created due to the task not running yet, whereas 1 means that the task has completed and the file is created and ready to upload. Also, you can tell it is an upload file by the <upload_url> in the file info.


This for Ubuntu and derivatives: To change the owner:group of files in bulk, open a terminal and cd to the directory where the data directory is and enter the following command:
sudo chown username:username -R * of course substituting the correct infomation where I typed username, i.e. boinc, oldchap, or whatever existing user you want to run the client under.
