You are on your own deleting logs.

Maybe a provision for no logging?

I'm loath to comment on misfit since I do not use it (I could not be happier with GPU72WorkFetcher!) I can see where having an option to keep x days of logs would be nice.

Still though, you can do this with a scheduled task. for windows XP the task command would be:

forfiles -p "C:\what\ever" -s -m *.log -d <number of days> -c "cmd /c del @path"

and for windows 7 it would be

forfiles -p "C:\what\ever" -s -m *.log /D -<number of days> /C "cmd /c del @path"

where "C:\what\ever" is the folder your misfit log files is in, and *.log is the file mask for the log files. Someone else might be able to make that command more applicable to misfit, as I don't know what file extention the logs use.

To be extra explicit, if I wanted to delete all .log files from the "c:\misfit\logs" folder that were older than 7 days (On windows 7) I'd start a scheduled task to run daily, and the task command would be

forfiles -p "C:\misfit\logs" -s -m *.log /D -7 /C "cmd /c del @path"

This is very helpful, thanks. Still, I think management of the logging should be part of the application

Excellent solution as I will not be turning off or managing log files in any way. 2 meg of disk space is not worth my time.

I agree.

Please clarify if you must keep the DCTF & LLTF dedicated to specific GPUs or if is OK to commingle the work.

My mind is still stuck in the old days of mfaktc when you had to take the cpu cores into consideration, so I still designate them as only DC and on LL. (I had 7 GPUs running on 19 cores) My spider machine to report results went down, and I have not had the time to diagnose it or resetup what I had on this machine.

Basically I have 2 GTX 480's running LLTF and 2 GTX 560's running DCTF, but the machines (while connected by lan) are not close physically. I currently use Windows Explorer to look at the networked drives and add more assignments when the worktodo filesize < 1kb. I also (daily, if I remember) copy the results to a temp file to upload to primnet and mersenne.ca and when finished copy the results to a master result file.

I would prefer to be able to run 1 or 2 instances from the main computer and lock the GPUs to their current work types.

MISFIT will work fine. You will like the REMOTE CONTROL feature which allows you to INQUIRE, STOP,START, SAFE-REBOOT, FORCE-REBOOT. Stalled process detection.
You can keep the work split or commingle, that is just an implementation detail.

Enjoy.

It will give you an idea of how it will work once I account for all directories


under the configurtion|MISC tab.
