A slightly higher setting via <job_duration> reflects the fact that a VM may start a job immediately before the target runtime is reached. The buffer of 21600 s seems to be enough to finish normal jobs. LHCb sets a runtime limit of 129600 s which is 18 h more than other LHC projects (Theory, CMS). A setting that is too high prevents the BOINC client from requesting new work especially in a multi project setup as it treats it's work cache as full. ID: 30228 · Reply Quote

New version 1.01 is now available. It works. Thank you. Although I think the parameter <job_duration> is not correctly used by the vboxwrapper. But that's not a problem to be solved by the LHC team.
