I believe this happens only once, after startup - right? -- David

At the moment we're not informed much about changes done to the client, only some things are reported in the messages. Such as suspending computation - time of day messages. When I override this setting, I am not informed about that in the messages, which it should (IMO0 do. Example given, I have my BOINC set to only do computations between 9pm and 6am. So when I now start BOINC, it'll show neatly in the messages: 03/12/2014 19:17:25 | | Suspending computation - time of day 03/12/2014 19:17:25 | | Suspending network activity - time of day When I override this by going into the Activity menu and choose "Run Always", I do not get any confirmation or warning about that in the messages, which I think it should. The only thing that may happen is that I see messages about work I have in cache being worked upon, but that's only when I have a couple of debug flags on that show that tasks start, in which slot and whether or not they checkpoint. Under normal circumstances, using just the default <task>, <file_xfer> and <sched_ops> flags there's none of that information showing, and thus it seems as if nothing is happening, from the messages point of view. I propose that we always have messages about the user overriding BOINC in the messages. So in the case of CPU Run Always, say "User override - Doing computation - Despite time of day setting." and equally in the case of Network Use Always: "User override - Using network - Despite time of day setting." Perhaps one for "Use GPU Always" as well? Although we don't specifically mention GPU activity anywhere in the messages, and running CPU based on preferences will automatically suspend the GPU. Just running CPU Always but leaving GPU based on preferences may not make the GPU do work. However, running CPU Always AND Running GPU Always will override the GPU as well. Perhaps we should have "Suspending GPU computation - time of day" and then "User override - Doing GPU computation - Despite time of day setting."? Weird though, I just notice when I override network activity through the menu (Network activity always available), that I get this message: 03/12/2014 19:29:30 | | Resuming network activity Although I think this should be the message when BOINC reaches that time of the day where network is allowed, not when the user overrides it.
