Einstein@Home is hogging 50% of one of my cpu's even though I have manually suspended BOINC. The BOINC Manager reports "Status: Project suspended by user", the BOINC Manager Event Log also reflects this. Yet BOINC Manager also shows the project continuing to run, steadily increasing the Elapsed and Remaining times, and my Mac's Activity Monitor reports a steady 50% cpu usage. This has never happened before and I having been using this setup for many years.

Before I manually suspended BOINC, it reported being suspended automatically due to computer in use, but it was using 50% cpu so I tried to manually suspend it.

I am using BOINC Manager 7.6.7 on a Mac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.5. I have only 2 projects scheduled: SETI@home and Einstein@home, and only Einstein is active.

You might want to update the Boinc client to version 7.6.9. I have a feeling that bug is fixed.

Yup.

* client: fix bug where elapsed time increased while suspended

By the way, mind adding BBcode around links you add? Makes it easier for people to click on. In this case,

[url]http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php[/url]

which will make http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php.

(Although 'download all' isn't really needed and could even be confusing. Just the regular download page at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php is all we need).

Update: After rebooting, BOINC is now behaving properly, so maybe this problem was just an aberration.
