That is odd, boinctray doesn't do anything except report the last time the keyboard or mouse was used. It writes that information to a specific area of memory. That is all it does.
Boinc goes and looks in that area of memory about once a second, but during a shutdown operation it doesn't use it at all. ----- Rom -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ed A Sent: Friday, May 20, 2011 1:47 PM To: Daniel Lombraña González Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [boinc_dev] BOINC 6.12.26 released to public Of the 11 BOINC Windows machines I run the failure to shut down boinc.exe and the running projects has been a problem on every one, again for many many versions. The longer BOINC has been running the more likely it is to refuse to shut down. Usually killing the boinctray.exe, then restarting the BOINC manager and exiting again will close boinc.exe and the projects. If you try to start BOINC and then exit shortly afterwards it will always exit correctly, so testing it in that manner is useless.
