I remember that a few years ago, here in the forum someone posted an URL to a website showing the names of "bad" (faulty) sherpa tasks (so that one could check after a task download whether that task will sucdeed or probably fail).
Unfortunately, I don't remember this URL and I can't find it anywhere.
Coulde someone please post it here?

few years ago

Might not be useful any more since there were major changes recently.
Most important: the switch from cvm3 to cvm4 which provides a completely different base environment.
According to mcplots the overall failure rate is 1.27 % for revision 2687.

on one of my hosts, a Sherpa [Boinc pp winclusive 7000 10 - sherpa 2.2.9 default 6000 223] has been running for more than 2 days.
Console f2 says "lean back and enjoy" ... but no events are being shown since then. CPU is active with 99+ % in console f3.

Since this task is shown in the list from the link above posting, I guess that I should kill the task, right?

Although the task in question indeed might got stuck the "failed" list is not helpful to decide whether any task should be killed or not.

That's because 1 important fact has not been mentioned:
"Therefore no task of them was successful so far..."

Especially when a new mcplots revision starts there are always a couple of runspecs that fail or get lost before they report their first success.
To get removed from the "failed" list a runspec needs to report at least 1 successful result.
