Subject: app_config.xml - Problem when xml has app before BOINC gets a task for the app
Date: Mon, 13 May 2013 14:38:23 -0400

I recently had to create a new Data Directory, and as I was setting up my projects, I noticed an app_config.xml issue.

Basically, I had created app_config.xml files for a couple projects that had already been initialized.
And when I restarted BOINC, I correctly got Notices saying "app xxx not found in app_config.xml"

Some time later, BOINC received a task for one of those apps.

One issue that I think I saw, was that the task's execution was NOT using my app_config settings, when it could/should have.
Another issue would be the Notice - it should go away once the app exists on the client. I did not check to see if the Notice went away.

Regards,
Jacob

I changed things so that app config settings are applied after each scheduler RPC (not just at startup). I didn't change the notice logic.
