Aargh - 30 somewhat hours 1 WU

[toft-dk]

Been away for a little over a day, and checking my computer it had only
produced 1 wu in 30 hours.

It seems like a program had been stealing allmost all the cpucycles.

this mashine normally does 2.5 - 3 wu's a day so 1 in 30 hours

Well rebooted the mashine and it's all better.

But more than one day of produktion was lost.

I have to check it more often. I have to. I have To.

Dasm I hate it when that happens!

 

[Poof]

What's worse is to have it finish a WU but the machine couldn't connect to the queue to upload it! :Q

And it sits there like that trying to connect for a couple days until you notice your production has gone down.

 

[toft-dk]

Yeah that sucks bigtime

Do you know what was causing the long the WU time?

Poof
BTW ,how many WU's have you got?

 

[Poof]

how many WU's have you got?

Geez... something just over 5000, if you total all my scattered accounts!

ToftVold-DK,

Did you see this thread Need some help with Seti@Home ? Check it out.

I had a very similar problem. :frown:

I had problems with SETISPY where it would complete a WU, then sit there and not do anything, even though it was set to keep the client active, etc.. It seems like if it got a bad connection to the SETI@HOME servers, it would then get confused and just sit there idle, and the only way to get it started again was to stop everything, and restart. ACK! I don't know how much CPU time was wasted.

I finally switched to using SETIDRIVER (got tired of the SETI@HOME keyserver problems) and they have been working away very consistently ever since.

Once I get the office moved and the new network stabilized, I'm going to try to get SETUQUE to work. (Had problems with the firewall, etc.)

hmm....

/me almost wishes there was some program that would send an email alert or something when CPU cycles get eaten up to a certain level.

hmm...

/me seems to recall a way to access CPU utilization info via the windows API in VB

hmm...

/me fires up my VB compiler.....

Now that would be handy!
