Hi!

No tasks seems to have been validated since yesterday!

None of the new computers that I hooked up tonight have got any credits at all,
and the first computer that got credits yesterday stopped getting any new ones at about 23:00.
All the tasks I've finished gather in the pending box instead.

When looking at the https://boinc.tbrada.eu/server_status.php it seems that the number
of tasks waiting for validation is steadily growing each minute, but not the numbers of tasks
waiting for deletion.

Acknowledged

There is a note in the news thread about credit. The validation and credit assignment may take up to a week until the project leaves a beta stage. Please read the conditions.

The validator/asimilator was set to start via cron, but that does not seem to work yet. So I just start it manually along with work generator every once in a while. This way I can also check that it is operating normally. There is still one case where it crashes.

Hi Tomas!

Thanks for the fast response!! :-)

I know that cron:s can be quite a headache sometimes, but I found this page that has helped me a bit:
https://www.adminschoice.com/crontab-quick-reference
(I don't know about the cron.allow and cron.deny: I have neither of them but it works for me anyway
when I edit the crontab file, which I have to do as root by the use of "sudo".)

For example this line added to the /etc/crontab file:
*/10 * * * * gunnar echo `date` >> /home/gunnar/testCrontab.txt
will result in that the
echo `date` >> /home/gunnar/testCrontab.txt
job is executed every ten minutes all day long,
and the result could easily be inspected in the resulting text file in my home dir.

Btw. there should be no need to re-initialize the cron in any way after editing the crontab file.
Cron reads this file every minute so every change will take effect almost immediately! :-)

Works, but solved it with systemd, because cron is deprecated.

Hi!

Yes, I admit it's a bit old school.
I feel a bit deprecated myself sometimes, and I realize that I have some reading to do, to catch up with systemd! :-)

Nice weekend and Happy Crunching!!!

Btw., don't miss to fill up with some more WU:s for us!

Kindest regards,
Gunnar

Gunnar Hjern, thanks. or the PM. The validator is temporary disabled, sorry for inconvenience.
I monitor the status page closely, so I know immediately when problems like this happen.
Next, please do not PM, if it is not personal, use the forum.

The validator has been re-enabled after an error was fixed. Changelog on github.
