For reasons that are not germane to this forum, I need that the client exits after finishing a WU and I assumed that the option --exit_after_finish would do that, but it seems that the client exits before the WU is finished. Moreover, because the project application doesn't check-point, it has to start all over again.

I tried --exit_when_idle, but then the client doesn't exit after finishing a WU, doesn't report the result and doesn't get another WU, remaining sitting idle.

--exit_before_start seems to work fine, but I tried it just for kicks, as it's doesn't apply to my needs.

--exit_after_app_start could serve my needs, but I wonder if it's not another dud...

Are the two first options mentioned above broken? If they're not, then can someone shed some light on what's going on? Finally, how are these options supposed to work on an SMP system, with possibly multiple WUs being crunched at the same time?

TIA
