Think I've found a rather nasty bug. I was trying to send some data through the command line parameters (one of the parameters is pretty large, maybe 10-15k characters) and it seems to crash the BOINC client/manager.
A window with "Communicating with BOINC client. Please wait..." keeps popping up, and the only way to get out of it is to quit the BOINC manager. Making matters worse it happens every time the manager opens up, so you can't really do anything with it. So a couple questions: 1. is there a hard limit on the size of command line parameters? and 2. how can I kill the workunits that aren't allowing the manager to communicate with the client, so I can get the boinc manager/client working again? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Travis Desell <deselt @ cs.rpi.edu> 1-518-867-1054 Adjunct Professor & Postdoctoral Research Assistant Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, 110 8th Street, Troy NY 12180, USA http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~deselt/ MilkyWay@Home ( http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/ ) DNA@Home ( http://dnahome.cs.rpi.edu/ ) Worldwide Computing Laboratory ( http://wcl.cs.rpi.edu/ ) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
