    Have a unit which is not looking like stopping, because time remaining is blank (---)

    Gravitational wave S6 GC search 1.01 (SSE2)
    work unit h1_0363.30_S6GC1_735_S6BucketA
    Running
    Rec'd 2/10/2011 10.00.09
    Deadline 16/10/2011 9.59.51
    CPU time last checkpoint 01.01.12
    Time remaining ---
    Fraction done 9.066%
    Process ID 1456

    Should this be aborted, or is it just a large task??!

    Please advise

      Did you already try a reboot?

      Are there any hints (error messages) in the stderr.txt file of h1_0363.30_S6GC1_735_S6BucketA? You can find that file in the appropriate slot directory beneath your BOINC data directory (which might be hidden by windows).

      Gruß,

        Hi Gundolf
        Many thanks for the help
        the slot directory in Windows was under /Ducoments and settings/All users/Application data/BOINC
        I could not read the text file in NoteBook and there was no error file there
        After rebooting, the Time Remaining re appeared
        Problem solved!
        Duh! I will reboot before asking next time.
        Thank you very much, Brett
