I've made the script file below: ----- ChangeTaskPri -100 Lab Start Wait 40 Min Setclock load Skip Start Back -----
And found that "changetaskpri -100" just seems to freeze the shell at that command. The history buffer can be scrolled through, but break 8 c break 8 d break 8 e break 8 f from another shell won't unlock the shell changetaskpri command. The shell won't close when you click the close button in the upper left hand corner.
I started another shell and kept increasing the value until it locked, -67 doesn't lock, -68 does.

Leave it up to me to find a weird bug.
I am able to reproduce it all the time.
IF you have DNETC (v2.9010-495-GTR-05051421) running using Altivec (have not tried without Altivec), if you run "changetaskpri" with -68 or lower, the command freezes, whether in a shell, or from a script file. When I quit DNetc, changetaskpri finishes, and in a script file, moves to the next command.

Priority of dnetc here is -120. It is the default afair. Theoretically if you run it at -120 too, the problem shouldn't have occured. I would have tested pri<=67, but I'm in the middle of a backup now and don't want to roast the media...

There is a priority setting in the client config (0-9, default = 0). No idea if it does anything though.
It does. With it set to 4, the client's cruncher thread will run at an Amiga priority of -67, which is what it looks like Atheist has it set to. Under normal circumstances there is no need to change this setting - the default 0 (i.e. Amiga -120) is fine.
Ranger when run from the icon, causes a recoverable gurumeditaion, and the message "this program may need to be run from the shell prompt".
Running Ranger from the shell prompt also causes a recoverable gurumeditaion.
I am using pre-release 4, perhaps that's why the guru?
I don't know the current task priority of DNetc.

- dnetc -config (or select config from the menu) - Select "3) Performance related options" - Select "3) Priority level to run at ==> 0 (lowest/at-idle)"
I would suggest you change this option to 0 (you probably have it set to 4 at the moment).
I believe you did work on the client, would it be possible to add docky support ?
Maybe. In what sense though? I should point out that I am not that familiar with dockies. I presume you mean a crunching rate meter/graph or something?
The biggest problem I have right now, with the A1 being my main machine, is accessing the distributed.net cvs. I can't seem to find any cvs client for OS4 that has support for SSH2 connections (without it, I cannot access the distributed.net cvs). The OS4 dnetc port is certainly overdue an update, and there will probably need to be new client builds quite soon when OGR-25 is completed.
I wasn't specifically thinking about a rate in the docky but it was rather a way to remove the AppIcon and replace it by a docky one. However it would be great if we could have such a feature in the docky icon sure.
About the SSH2 that's a pity our CVS port is not updated since quite a long time now. I guess it should be possible to do SSH2 using Steven Sollie's openSSH port, but we need someone to do it
Now my average nodes per second has gone from ~19.4 million, to ~17.3 million.

But now it has the lowest possible priority thus having absolutely no chance to interfere with normal operation of you amiga unless you totally mess up the priorities. If you want to use it at higher priority along with your script, make sure the script (and anything else you use at low priority) has a higher than dnetc priority. Just make up your mind, anything is possible...
edit: isn't it high time to upjump your AOS to the latest version level? Jack

I'm afraid of down loading, and then making what MAY be a working ISO from which I can install the current version, but, I gotta.
Surprised I managed to get this far. AOS4, pre 4 at least works.
