For clarity: it just takes the default value from config.xml (for convenience). We provide a dedicated form to configure the URL(s) in the BOINC section of the Drupal admin pages. We even make the site admin review and save this setting before it'll become effective.

Re: [boinc_dev] schedulers
Bernd: If there are multiple schedulers, the client picks a random one, and tries the others in order if failures occur. So all schedulers should get the same average load. I'll get rid of cgi_url from config.xml, since it's unused. -- David On 13-Apr-2013 1:29 AM, Bernd Machenschalk wrote: 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?
