         If the scheduling server has no work, it replies to RPCs without doing any database access (e.g., without looking up the user or host record). This reduces DB load, but it fails to update preferences when users click on Update. Use it if your server DB is overloaded.
  '''resend_lost_results'''::
-        If set, and a <other_results> list is present in scheduler request, resend any in-progress results not in the list. This is recommended; it may increase the efficiency of your project. For reasons that are not well understood, a BOINC client sometimes fails to receive the scheduler reply. This flag addresses that issue: it causes the SAME results to be resent by the scheduler, if the client has failed to receive them.

  '''send_result_abort'''::
-        If set, and the client is processing a result for a WU that has been cancelled or is not in the DB (i.e. there's no chance of getting credit) send <result_abort>. If client is processing a result for a WU that has been assimilated or is overdue (i.e. there's a chance of not getting credit) send <result_abort_if_not_started>.

  '''default_disk_max_used_gb'''::
         Sets the default value for the disk_max_used_gb preference so it's consistent between the scheduler and web pages. The scheduler uses it when a request for work doesn't include preferences, or the preference is set to zero. The web page scripts use it to set the initial value when displaying or editing preferences the first time, or when the user never saved them. Default is 100.
