I just had a system failure on one of my computers, and I know two assigned jobs will never be completed. It would be nice to have a way to cancel them manually on the website, so other people on same work unit don't have to wait two weeks for the timeout.

Pav,

Depending on your installation type, you should be able to do this in the Manager, by going to the "Projects" tab, click on (highlight) "Einstein@Home", and click the "Update" button on the left, in the "Tasks" column. If that is too much trouble, don't worry - it will be updated automatically at the next communication with the scheduler. :-)

Thank you for your consideration for the project!

I made it to "update", and indeed, the two lost workunits were resent to the client from the headquarters. That's cool feature!
