For those keeping tabs on it, we are now somewhere between 3rd and 5th in overall vault ranking!

Cool! 3rd place here we come (says the eternal optimist).
I've been trying to change the Math rating a little, 8th place is no place to be.
I've been hitting OGR-26 and RC5-72, as we can gain some points there easily (I think).
I just need to figure out how to do a non-boinc project sig.  _________________

Not sure about RC5, but OGR we'd need a pretty significant push to catch up more of the teams above us. If you can bring it, have at it!
We REALLY need more in the Sieving, but it's a bit more of a pain in the keester to do. I have two older machines sieving now and I may switch a couple of cores on my main workstation over to it as well. We are worst in the PRPing, and I may take a poke or two at that as well. Sadly though, these take a bit more attention for reporting, but tend to take a while to complete, so it's a tradeoff.
These are all a bit difficult to keep tabs on when they are on remote machines, which is why they don't see much attention I think. _________________ Some days are worse than others. |

I've got my MacPro, a pair of X2 AMD's and 1 Quad core AMD on OGR, so hopefully it will help.
I've got 3 Quad core AMD's running RC5 right now. I will adjust as needed.
In RC5, we are in 619th place, so I figure we need some help there.
I'm somewhat limited in what I can run (I only have 2 Windoze machines, all the rest are Linux or OSX). _________________

Don't feel limited by a lack of windoze. I run linux on all my boxes except the laptop. They will run all this stuff! _________________ Some days are worse than others. |

With a little head-scratching! PS- If you want, I can upload the script I did to run dnetc as a service. _________________

sure, it's all automated though, I leave it running in a terminal window so I can see what it's got going on. Same with the PS3, but I only check it once a week or so. I have directions for sieving on linux if you need them. I should formalize them and post them anyway. The instructions on the website and in the help content are less than perfect. _________________ Some days are worse than others. |

Why don't you post them for me. Also I could use links to the projects. I'm working on adding the projects in the Vault to the stats. _________________

A note on remote machines- I use pscp to copy all the log files over to my "master" computer and then use a little vb program to crunch the logs. Makes keeping an eye on them easy.
The copy batch looks like this:
REM -------------------------
cd H:\DC-Compute
rem OGR & RC5
pscp.exe -pw ***** -unsafe root@CES-PH9500://MC/DC-Compute/dnetc507-linux-amd64-elf/*.log H:\DC-Compute\CES-PH9500\
pscp.exe -pw ***** -unsafe root@CES-PH9600://MC/DC-Compute/dnetc507-linux-amd64-elf/*.log H:\DC-Compute\CES-PH9600\
pscp.exe -pw ***** -unsafe root@CES-PH9600B://MC/DC-Compute/dnetc507-linux-amd64-elf/*.log H:\DC-Compute\CES-PH9600B\
pscp.exe -pw ***** -unsafe root@CES-PH9950://MC/DC-Compute/dnetc507-linux-amd64-elf/*.log H:\DC-Compute\CES-PH9950\
pscp.exe -pw ***** -unsafe root@CES-6000X2://MC/DC-Compute/dnetc507-linux-amd64-elf/*.log H:\DC-Compute\CES-6000X2\
pscp.exe -pw ***** -unsafe root@CES-Dev://MC/DC-Compute/dnetc507-linux-amd64-elf/*.log H:\DC-Compute\CES-Dev\
copy \\Ces-macpro\MC_Local\dnetc507-macosx-x86\*.log H:\DC-Compute\CES-MacPro\
rem Muon
copy H:\Muon-v444d\results.dat H:\DC-Compute\MC-Home\
copy H:\Muon-v444d\results.txt H:\DC-Compute\MC-Home\
copy H:\Muon-v444d\sendlog.log H:\DC-Compute\MC-Home\
copy \\Ces-Back\Shared\Muon-v444d\results.dat H:\DC-Compute\CES-Back\
copy \\Ces-Back\Shared\Muon-v444d\results.txt H:\DC-Compute\CES-Back\
copy \\Ces-Back\Shared\Muon-v444d\sendlog.log H:\DC-Compute\CES-Back\
Rem Signal "finished" to the program
echo "Finshed" > touch

I do like Putty but PSCP is windoze. The only windoze box I have is my old laptop which I don't do overly much with.
It is ssh based though so I'm sure I can automate something similar from my linux box.
The machines I have which aren't running on a display however are running boinc and I use the boinc manager to check on them periodically. And once a week I'll ssh in and perform updates. They are set up with minimal gentoo installations to maximize their speed.
I love your OGR script btw. You should add a note though that not all distros keep their init.d directories in the same place. All of mine for example are at /etc/init.d/
Details. We should make a separate site for instructions (so we can update as needed) and downloads (like your script, with an explanation on where to put it and how to use it). I think with better directions on usage we will get more participation in the non-boinc projects. I know the directions for sieving are horrible (I'll make something for those next). _________________ Some days are worse than others. |

Yeah, I noticed that about Sieve & PRP, I was just at their so-called website looking at the "lay of the land".
The script will need some changes for other systems (I am running mostly CentOS now), I may have to fire up one of my Arch Linux machines and tweak it for non-redhat machines.
PS- I have one main Windoze machine that I have to have for business- I do factory automation work, and none of the PLC or HMI manufactures have Linux versions of there tools (Allen Bradley, GE Fanuc, Modicon, ...).
PPS- I added Sieve, PRP, and EulerNet to the stats today (will show up on the next run). I'm trying to get all the Vault projects into the stats. _________________

The new GE PLCs can be accessed with linux tools, or at least unix. They bought KVB which now has another name and they offer their tools on Solaris, and if it'll talk to one PLC.... But if you have everything working now then change might be a bad idea. _________________ Some days are worse than others. |

An easy way to gain some more points quickly is to concentrate on projects where the score is below 9K. You can gain some points quicker by moving up in those projects than you can by gaining a place in those projects where we have a score of 9.4K or above.

Ni | That almost makes sense - why didn't we think of that before??

That is exactly what were are talking about mein hare.
That's why I have a couple of machines sieving and may be migrating more of them to it.
