Re: resetting

No, that had nothing to do with what I was asking. What I meant was, is there a way of resetting the work unit so that it goes back to 0% and does it all over again?
Thanks

Re: resetting

The safest thing to do is abort the work unit. The client will report a computational error, and the server will send the work unit out again (probably not to you) and will send you another work unit.

If you really want to reset the current work unit, you could try deleting the checkpoint files. Be aware that this may cause problems, and BOINC may abort the unit anyway.
