bonix/einstein wont snooze

Bonix huh? Berkeley Open Networking In X-space? ;-)

Snooze works for an hour, after that it automatically unsnoozes.
As for the preferences you set, did you set them through the web site, or through the BOINC Manager Advanced preferences? Did you set any preferences through the latter? I ask as they override the web site preferences.

So please, could you post the contents of your global_prefs.xml and if it exists the global_prefs_override.xml files, please? You can find these in your Data directory, which on the Mac is by default at /Library/Application Support/BOINC Data/

Do you have Run based on preferences selected in BOINC Manager's Activity menu?
