Custom Query (981 matches)

Currently, only the feeder, the validator and the assimilator have a -sleep_interval option. It would be useful to have the setting on all the daemons, at least for consistency. When I added it to config.xml, some daemons didn't even give an error that the option was invalid, and kept doing queries every five seconds.

The transitioner has two different hardcoded sleep intervals depending on #ifdef EINSTEIN_AT_HOME, so it's a sure thing that projects may want to customize this...

I added the option to the file_deleter and the transitioner. Patch attached.

Feature request: Add a GUI RPC to the client to reset project debts. Preferably to set them to an arbitrary value, not only to zero them.

From what I know about debts, they are adjusted so that the sum of them is 0. This adjustment be done immediately after this RPC. However, changing from a positive debt on a single project to 0 would make it go positive again (and bring other projects closer to zero). For this reason, my suggested RPC can set multiple projects at a time, not needing one RPC per project.

Suggested RPC:

<set_debt>
    <project>
        <project_url>http://project1</project_url>
        <long_term_debt>0</long_term_debt>
        <short_term_debt>0</short_term_debt>
    </project>
    <project>
        <project_url>http://project2</project_url>
        <long_term_debt>0</long_term_debt>
        <short_term_debt>0</short_term_debt>
    </project>
</set_debt>

Answer to that would be <success/> like from most "set" RPCs. Note that the client should handle a missing LTD or STD tag (so that the RPC can be used to only change one of them).

I noticed the output of <get_project_status> and <get_state> RPCs already have the debts; so we have a mechanism to "get" them already.

Posted by: gene Date: 1:15 AM 05-11-2005 It would be useful to have Long-term and Short-term Debt columns under the Projects tab in the Boinc Manager. This would eliminate the need for the user to open the client_state.xml file when verifying what projects should be running.
