Kick It!

---

I am down as well.

Shake it!

Looks like the validator again?

Go away, I was asleep

So all the GPU folks returned their wu's in less than 4 hrs (60,000 wu's) and now the CPU's are returning their wu's at 10,000 per 4hrs.

Maybe we should make a collection for something like an 'Weekend Automatic Validator Kicker'.

Could something be set up to automatically restart it?

Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?
If it makes sense, DON'T do it.

Could something be set up to automatically restart it?

I think so. Since at least one server gets info about nr. of wu's waiting for validation there could be a limit set up, which causes an auto-restart (like windows does ater updates), local or remote.
But this may depend on the operating-system and security-settings they use. What should work in every situation is a remote operated relay, whose contact is parallel to the reset-button of the PC.

With apologies to DEVO ... (ah the eighties)
Whip it good - Werkstatt just dusted off the archives in the back of my head

When something's going wrong
You must kick it
Now whip it
into shape.
Shape it up
Get straight
go forward
move ahead
Try to detect it
it's not too late
to whip it
whip it good

When a good time turns around
you must kick it
You will never live it down
unless you kick it
No one gets away
until they kick it
I say kick it
kick it good
I say whip it
kick it good
crack that whip
give the past the slip

It's baaaaack....

No work, again, for a little while now, and caches running down.

There are 42,827 WUs awaiting validation, and possibly growing. I expect the usual validation server problem is associated with the lack of new work, as seen several times before.

Can someone kick the server, or it's over to Collatz for a burst of WUs there. :((

It seems we have a repetitive problem -- symptoms are that work isn't being produced for download and completed work isn't getting validated.

Perhaps there is some form of memory leak going on here -- and absent solving the root cause problem, perhaps a scheduled stop/start process to act as a bandaid might be an at least marginally proactive approach to the problem.

I haven't seen any information from Travis or others at the project regarding what they are seeing there (or if they are seeing anything there or for that matter that they are looking into it).

Perhaps we are seeing 'BOINC project middle age' syndrome in terms of the project side activity and communications level....

It would be nice if they could put this repetitive problem to bed - that might allow Travis even more off site time.

i agree because it gets more annoying each time. There hasn't been a month withouth an at least one day long break out.

i can say even more - this happens on bi-weekly basis...
