"Requesting 0 seconds of work"-text may be confusing

[jbk]

In certain situations (for instance when a project has flagged that the client should check back for aborted results now and then) the repeated log messages "Sending scheduler request: Requested by project. Requesting 0 seconds of work, reporting 0 completed tasks" seem to annoy users. This is especially the case when they have selected "No more work" or similar (does this also happen when a project is suspended?) when the log message is still printed.

Solution: To make users happy find another wording for 0 second scheduler requests that does not include the word "work". For instance only include text about work and completed tasks if the relevant number is greater than 0.

So basically you want [13887] reverted? :)

Replying to Nicolas:

Yes, the part from scheduler_op.C - but the last case should maybe be modified: The client should focus more on telling users what is doing rather than telling them what it [b]isn'tb going to do...
