I have one task that was ostensibly running but not using any CPU time. Looking at logs I see this in StarterLog:

04/10/17 07:54:52 (pid:4070) About to exec Post script: /var/lib/condor/execute/dir_4070/tarOutput.sh 2016-563074-880

And in StartLog:

04/10/17 06:51:10 Changing activity: Idle -> Busy

BOINC had pre-empted the task for an hour during that time:

2017-04-10 06:51:12 (11184): Guest Log: [INFO] New Job Starting in slot1

2017-04-10 07:54:56 (11184): Guest Log: [INFO] Job finished in slot1 with 0.


I don't know if the task being pre-empted is significant or not. I've had a similar problem at least once before where it seemed that the problem with connecting to shadow appeared shortly after the task was resumed but then again, I have had lots of tasks being pre-empted and resumed without any problems.

Anyway, the real killer seems to be the 86300 reconnect interval. That's a bit much in BOINC environment. I'd have it try to reconnect once per minute a few times. The host may have been powered down or suspended and might not have network available just yet. If it can't reconnect after, say, ten minutes just give up and power down the VM.
