I had 4 einstein processes running, I suspended 2 of them, and 2 abc-finder started, but 1 einstein is left in memory (the first one, in sleep status) # ps -eo pid,user,stat,comm | grep boinc 14097 boinc SNl einstein_S5R4_6 14100 boinc RNl abc-finder_1.03 14110 boinc RNl abc-finder_1.03 14150 morph Ss boincmgr 16603 boinc SN boinc 20173 boinc RNl einstein_S5R4_6 25929 boinc RNl einstein_S5R4_6 Configuration key changed, and just after restart, everything seems pretty ok: # ps -eo pid,user,stat,comm | grep boinc 14459 boinc SN boinc 14485 boinc RNl einstein_S5R4_6 14488 boinc RNl einstein_S5R4_6 14489 boinc RNl abc-finder_1.03 14490 boinc RNl abc-finder_1.03 14497 morph Ss boincmgr Then, keep suspending and resuming, I got: # ps -eo pid,user,stat,comm | grep boinc 14459 boinc SN boinc 14485 boinc RNl einstein_S5R4_6 14497 morph Ss boincmgr 14525 boinc RNl abc-finder_1.03 14526 boinc RNl abc-finder_1.03 14570 boinc SNl abc-finder_1.03 14583 boinc RNl einstein_S5R4_6 I'm attaching the log generated with grep "25-Aug-2008 22:5" /var/lib/boinc-client/stdoutdae.txt > BTW: In the first paragraph of this page[1] it is said that some applications > take fairly long to shut down. Maybe garli is one of those applications? yeah, here it's matter of minuts, for garli was some hours (then I realized there was something that occupied all my memories and I've restarted the boinc client).
