Looking for work

[Axdrenalin]

I seem to have a bunch of computers that have been looking for work. mostly console clients, but even a couple of SMP's have had trouble finding new WU's to process. Is anyone else seeing this as well, or did Evil hack my boxen to keep me from nipping at his heals again?

I had one PC hanging for a few last night. It picked up a WU eventually.

The SMP client I have on this machine finished a unit roughly 9 hours ago. It took 6 hours to get a new one, and the log appears as if the results for the last one haven't been able to send.

I think I had one last night.....

I threatened to jab a screwdriver in some vital parts and it found a WU, lazy computer

Sometimes you just have to show them who's boss.

Mine were all crunching away when I looked at them this morning. I'll have to check if they had any issues overnight.

I had one of two regular console clients on my Pentium D at work that took about 6-8 hours to get a work unit yesterday morning. The second client took 12-14 hours to grab a work unit. I would have threatened it with imminent death via ESD but since it's my work system I don't own it and would get in trouble for killing it.

My SMP client was also looking for WUs this morning.

Just checked the logs on my boxes and it looks like I've been lucky, no problems.

However, my PS3 has had some difficulty sending finished units back the last couple days.

I am seeing this problem on my SMP units as well. What gives man? I was just starting to lay down some decent PPD. Figures.

I lost 3 smp wu's last night due to a power outage, but picked up another 3 this morning when I caught it.

Ok, just closed out my client that was looking for work all morning and restarted. Picked up a 2653 instantly.

I tried that with several of mine this morning, but its been hit or miss. Only a few of them picked work back up, the rest just kept trying without success.

I can't check my borg, but my farm boxen are all okay....one SMP and 5 console clients.

I had a couple of SMP's as well that couldn't be uploaded and also boxen that couldn't pick up new work. The Fahmon fahinfo indicated the server was ok....

After finally grabbing a couple work units and processing one of them, I have a client on my Pentium D that can't get work again. It keeps getting pointed at 171.64.122.78. Could someone do a check on Stanford's page to see the server status for that server? I can't access Stanford's page from here at work as the webfilter blocks it.

Weekends seem to be notorious for the "looking for work" issue. This was especially true of the single core client. It's an occassional issue with the SMP client.

Hmmm mine have been getting work okay but have been having problems sending work. On the diskless box log it looks like it finally uploaded on the one instance but gave me the below error in red. Does this mean I did not get credit for the work? It also did not give the regular "thank you for your contribution" message.

This server was down or not accepting completed WU for a few days. It finally came back up late yesterday. Both my SMPs were pointing to it. I had several WU waiting to be posted, but couldn't till last night.
