WaH v8.29 bug leaves files behind in BOINC/data/projects/climateprediction -- please delete by hand
A bug has been found in the latest v8.29 Weather@Home app currently running EAS25 batches as app-name wah2_ri.
When the task finishes it mistakenly leaves some text files behind in the task directory inside the BOINC/data/projects/climateprediction.net directory.
[By default C:\Program Data\BOINC\Projects\climateprediction.net on Windows machines, where C:\Program Data\ is by default a hidden folder.]
Task directories have long names such as 'wah2_eas25_a3pf_200912_24_1007_012269659'.
This is the same as the task 'Name' column in boincmgr.
When a task finishes, it should delete the task directory (e.g. wah2_eas25_a3pf_200912_24_1007_012269659) in the projects/climateprediction.net folder, but unfortunately it leaves behind the 3 text files:
stdout_mon.txt
stdout_rm.txt
stdout_um.txt
Task directories with only these 3 files can be safely deleted.
DO NOT delete task directories which also contain 'datain', 'dataout', 'jobs' and any other files.
These indicate running tasks.
Also do not delete the entire 'climateprediction.net' directory as this will kill all running tasks.
Apologies for the inconvenience.
The bug has been identified and corrected. A new version will be issued before any more batches are released.
