Hopefully we'll get another graduate student in the fall to generate more WUs! - Ian

(Message 113425) Posted 13 Feb 2026 by ibanderson Post: @Pascal - looks good though time period of 1800 may miss some work units - but in my poor French - tres bon! I also see that the task scheduler is actually working on my old Win 10 laptop - I was wrong to maligh it! It's running at 5 minute intervals now. Here's my Event Log - 2/13/2026 2:57:22 AM \| Rosetta@home \| Scheduler request completed 2/13/2026 2:57:22 AM \| Rosetta@home \| Project requested delay of 31 seconds 2/13/2026 3:02:20 AM \| Rosetta@home \| update requested by user 2/13/2026 3:02:20 AM \| Rosetta@home \| Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. 2/13/2026 3:02:20 AM \| Rosetta@home \| Not requesting tasks: don't need (CPU: job cache full; Intel GPU: no applications) 2/13/2026 3:02:22 AM \| Rosetta@home \| Scheduler request completed 2/13/2026 3:02:22 AM \| Rosetta@home \| Project requested delay of 31 seconds 2/13/2026 3:07:19 AM \| Rosetta@home \| update requested by user 2/13/2026 3:07:20 AM \| Rosetta@home \| Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. 2/13/2026 3:07:20 AM \| Rosetta@home \| Not requesting tasks: don't need (CPU: job cache full; Intel GPU: no applications) 2/13/2026 3:07:21 AM \| Rosetta@home \| Scheduler request completed 2/13/2026 3:07:21 AM \| Rosetta@home \| Project requested delay of 31 seconds 2/13/2026 3:12:19 AM \| Rosetta@home \| update requested by user 2/13/2026 3:12:24 AM \| Rosetta@home \| Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. 2/13/2026 3:12:24 AM \| Rosetta@home \| Not requesting tasks: don't need (CPU: job cache full; Intel GPU: no applications) 2/13/2026 3:12:25 AM \| Rosetta@home \| Scheduler request completed 2/13/2026 3:12:25 AM \| Rosetta@home \| Project requested delay of 31 seconds 2/13/2026 3:17:19 AM \| Rosetta@home \| update requested by user 2/13/2026 3:17:23 AM \| Rosetta@home \| Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. 2/13/2026 3:17:23 AM \| Rosetta@home \| Not requesting tasks: don't need (CPU: job cache full; Intel GPU: no applications) 2/13/2026 3:17:24 AM \| Rosetta@home \| Scheduler request completed 2/13/2026 3:17:24 AM \| Rosetta@home \| Project requested delay of 31 seconds 2/13/2026 3:18:04 AM \| \| Resuming GPU computation 2/13/2026 3:20:49 AM \| \| Suspending GPU computation - computer is in use 2/13/2026 3:22:19 AM \| Rosetta@home \| update requested by user 2/13/2026 3:22:22 AM \| Rosetta@home \| Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. 2/13/2026 3:22:22 AM \| Rosetta@home \| Not requesting tasks: don't need (CPU: ; Intel GPU: no applications) 2/13/2026 3:22:24 AM \| Rosetta@home \| Scheduler request completed 2/13/2026 3:22:24 AM \| Rosetta@home \| Project requested delay of 31 seconds 2/13/2026 3:27:19 AM \| Rosetta@home \| update requested by user 2/13/2026 3:27:21 AM \| Rosetta@home \| Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. 2/13/2026 3:27:21 AM \| Rosetta@home \| Not requesting tasks: don't need (CPU: job cache full; Intel GPU: no applications) 2/13/2026 3:27:22 AM \| Rosetta@home \| Scheduler request completed 2/13/2026 3:27:22 AM \| Rosetta@home \| Project requested delay of 31 seconds The Task Scheduler seems to be an easier way to run Rosetta updates every 5 minutes as set and forget!

3) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Other projects. (Message 113421) Posted 12 Feb 2026 by ibanderson Post: On a linux box ( - mine is Linux Mint 22.3), an easy way to poll for new rosetta tasks is using a crontab entry - I use this crontab -e then add - # Update BOINC's Rosetta Project every 2 Minutes to catch stray WUs /2 * * * /usr/bin/boinccmd --project https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/ update I see you're trying also trying the Denis project - I don't think I've seen any activity since June 2025 on this one. Einstein always seems to have Work Units available though, as does WCG when it's up. I try to crunch on Cancer oriented research, as my wife, and mom both died of cancer, and I'm also struggling with leukemia. I'm glad research like WCG/Folding@Home are still going strong. FAH even seems to be looking at the KRAS protein involved in a lot of cancers. I hope us crunchers can really help those researchers! Anyway try a simple cron job for updating - no need for scripts on linux! Ian
4) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Other projects. (Message 113417) Posted 11 Feb 2026 by ibanderson Post: Hi Bill, Maybe you can catch some of those Rosetta Work Units with a Batch file Like this - Upd-Rosetta.bat @echo off cd /d c:Program FilesBOINC :loop cls echo "boinccmd.exe --project https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/ update" boinccmd.exe --project https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/ update TIMEOUT /T 600 goto loop Of course you would need to leave a terminal window open for that I tried the Windows Task Scheduler Loop - but the Win 10 task scheduler doesn't seem very reliable. I can't seem to scale to 5 minute intervals very well. Regards, Ian

7) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 113093) Posted 19 Sep 2025 by ibanderson Post: Hi Matthew, I'm running Folding at Home on 2 of my PCs (NVidia RTX 5050, 5060). F@H will also run on CPUs. I also have Dennis@Home but it's not been running for over a month. - Ian
8) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 110177) Posted 10 Dec 2024 by ibanderson Post: I was able to get Rosetta to download tasks again on Android. (Yay!) I'm using both a Samsung Galaxy A13, and a Samsung Galaxy A14. I installed Personal DNS Filter (pDNSf) from Google Play. In pDNSf, advanced settings, I pressed Configure additional hosts. I added >boinc-files.bakerlab.org 128.95.150.156, went back to the main screen and rechecked to see if the entry was saved, and hit restart. I also had to clear the DNS cache by running Google Chrome, entering chrome://net-internals/#DNS as the URL, selecting the DNS Option, and then clear Host Cache option. After this I restarted Boinc, clicked reset on the Rosetta Project, and Update. I was finally able to download tasks on the A13, and A14. 4 Tasks are running on the A14, and I'm still waiting for Tasks to run on the A13. - Ian
