Are these with the latest clients? Or older versions? Which projects are you attached too?
This sounds like a memory leak of some sort. John is right that the core client limits the number of log entries at 2000, cycles the log file at 2MB. We found and fixed a bug where the logs were not being cycled correctly, but this sounds like a whole different beast. ----- Rom -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Patricio Vidal Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2012 10:25 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [boinc_dev] Clear event log functionality in client I have the same issue. I have about 100 clients running Boinc here at work. After about a month they all are consuming about 1GB of memory. I scheduled a task that re-starts the boinc service every day. Here is the batch file to create that task: :: Setup :: On some machines the schtasks command is not found when launched from :: a network script so we have to use the full path. @set SCHTASKS=%WINDIR%\system32\schtasks :: Set a task to re-start BOINC everyday and prevent high memory consumption. @echo Creating BOINC re-start task ... @set BOINCTASKNAME="Boinc Service Restart" @%SCHTASKS% /Delete /F /TN %BOINCTASKNAME% >> NUL 2>&1 @%SCHTASKS% /Create /RU system /SC daily /ST 12:35:00 /TN %BOINCTASKNAME% /TR "%WINDIR%\system32\cmd.exe /C net stop Boinc & net start Boinc" Regards, Patricio.
