Hello
So I have Boinc set to suspend tasks when my laptop is on battery.
However earlier today despite boinc claiming the tasks were suspended - computer on battery, the fan was running steadily and the machine was running quite warm so I took a look in task manager.
The Rbdock.exe applications were still active and still taking all of my processor.
Upon further testing, it appears they also continue to run in the background when one exits the manager and tells it to stop running tasks.
Will this be fixed in the next update to the application?

Hello Timber! I also see this behaviour on a laptop with Linux. Is yours one on a laptop with Windows 10 (7)?

Hello
Yes, Windows 10.
thanks

This is not only a problem for a laptop running on batteries when suspending. On a desktop with Windows 7, I suspended a task manually.

Maybe the wrapper is doing nothing - suspended (can't see because of very low activity of that process),
but the corresponding rbdock.exe keeps on running and a new task started, because BOINC thinks there is a core free.
Of the "suspended" task docking_log and docking_out.sd are growing. Stderr.txt isn't touched.

Maybe this is an old BOINC issue for tasks not creating checkpoints and using a wrapper.

I found this in the BOINC-forum:

In his other thread on CPU time, Paul is asking about wrapper apps. Wrapper apps typically don't checkpoint, and BOINC won't suspend a task that hasn't checkpointed - that's been the case for years, and is not new for v7.14.2

With app version 12.2 the client should suspend tasks normally, please check when convenient.

Good job!

Good job for the Windows version.
Normally I don't run Linux, but it seems that suspend on the Linux version isn't working either.
2 tasks were automatically suspended by BOINC (waiting to run), cause another mt-job needed all cores, but both tasks keep on running in the background.

Yes, for Linux the app version is still old, the same solution doesn't work.
