I've just noticed something odd about the BOINC Online Schedulers (BOS) service, which is what creates the project status list on the front page. Right now it lists Pirates@Home as "unreachable", which is not the case. What is actually the case is that I have made cgi-bin/cgi non-executable. The real scheduler, as listed in both comments on the home page and in a <link> tag, is cgi-bin/pirate_scheduler. (I changed the name because I've made a few minor modifications.) Bruno, I think you read this list, at least from time to time. It seems your script(s) just look for a CGI called "cgi", they don't actually use the scheduler listed by the project. If that's so then perhaps you'd consider changing it? ____________ -- Eric Myers "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." -- William Butler Yeats

During 4.-8.12.2006 there was rather long discussion at [boinc_dev] list regarding also this problem (how to best track the availability), maybe worth reading: CGI (scheduler) not properly redirecting browser?.

Do you change these by hand? You should look into extracting them from the new <link> tag which has now been introduced. Otherwise parse the <scheduler> block in the home page. Otherwise fall back to "cgi" as a guess.
