Hi David!
Thanks so far.
1. If the <cgi_url> isn't used, shouldn't it be removed to avoid
confusion (I remember this confusion costed E@H several hours at least
two times during server re-configurations)? Even less confusing,
however, it would be IMHO if the index.php page would read the scheduler
URL(s) from the <cgi_url> and BOINC would get rid of schedulers.txt
altogether (FWIW that's what the current Drupal web code already does).
For compatibility I'd make index.php checke if schedulers.txt is there,
include it if it is, and only use the config when it's absent; then make
make_project not create a new schedulers.txt anymore.
2. The question what the client does with multiple schedulers is still
unanswered. Does it pick one? Deterministically or at random? Randomized
on what, e.g. would the same Client (with the same hostid) always pick
the same scheduler? What happens if one scheduler can't be reached or
doesn't (fully) fulfill the work request?
Best,
Bernd

The <cgi_url> in config.xml isn't used.
You can run schedulers on multiple hosts
(each with its own feeder, using --mod).

Hi!
It looks like there are two different, independent places where a
"cgi" /
"scheduler" URL is set:
- <cgi_url> in the project config
- html/user/schedulers.txt
- Digging through the code I found nothing that actually uses the URL
set in the
project config. Is there anything where this is being used?
- The name "schedulers.txt" implies that is is possible to specify
more than one
scheduler. Is is? If so, how would you do this? How would the Client
react to
that? Is any project already using this?
If anything is changed I would much prefer to configure the
scheduler(s) in the
project config than in yet another file in the html tree.
Best,
Bernd
