The job agent has been updated with the main aim to get logging messages back into stderr_txt so it can be seen for each task. The following changes were made:

  • Re-factored to get the BOINC information from init_data.xml rather than fd0
  • Re-factored logging to use a common logging function
  • Use the vboxmonitor command to also send the messages to the VBox.log
  • Shutdown rather than sleep on errors
  • Report shutdown reasons using the completion trigger file


This update provides a handle for shutting down the VM when problems are detected and providing the reason to the BOINC client. Details are also archived for the task which should help troubleshooting and improve overall support.
