VMWare WU's Don't Start after Completion
I have a question.
My VMware is running at about 12min per % and i am OK with that but when it reaches 100% it sends the result and then just stops, it does not get another job until i restart it???

wow 12 min is fast!!!!!!!!! My fastest one is at 15 min, I must be doing something wrong or you have a much better processor and faster memory than I do.
As far as having to physically restart it to get another WU, I haven't a clue, but I am sure Algis has a idea or two.

Well, as we all have a Q6600 @ stock, it's easy to compare. I have 4 GB RAM too using Vista X86 for the moment and I'm like Dan, 15min./TPF(Time Per Frame). I doubt the memory has anything to do with the speed. Perhaps it's a new WU? What's the project number and which client?
As to " physically restart it to get another WU", I've seen this happen with others quite a while ago but can't recall how they solved it. Crap memory of mine. I'll go and do some hunting for ya there Bill but I have a few places to check on my list. What a pain eh?
EDIT: I'll split this off later as it's time to start supper.

Re: Welcome to our new Folding@Home Home
Bill has a little faster Processor, his is a Q6700 and memory probably has a little to do with the lesser bottle necking maybe.

Re: VMWare WU's Don't Start after Completion
sounds like it's getting passed the "-oneunit" flag when starting up somehow. When that flag is passed, it will run one unit, send data, and shut down. Check the config file to see if it's set there as you can set other parameters for the client there. If you use a script to start it, check that as well.

Re: VMWare WU's Don't Start after Completion
OK here is a conundrum, i have got it working now so that it starts the next unit automatically, BUT it runs only at half speed 24min per % so i manually restart it and we are back to 12min per %.
now i am really confused.

Perhaps something to do with affinity? I'm just guessing here as I often forget to set the affinity after a reboot.
