All thanks go to Crunch3r for this mod.

Hmm.... im wondering where this idea is from .... looking at my script - code --- well, a angle range check - routine ...
and then the idea poped up after crunch3r downloaded my script / took notice of the thread.... :P :P :P :P
a credit would have been nice
Raistmer:
:)
No prob
ADDON: done.

To be fair, I don't think anyone was trying to belittle your contribution. We've all had something to say on the subject, starting with Raistmer's thread on Beta (http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/beta/forum_thread.php?id=1443) and Alexander's batch file. Each contributer has drawn on and extended the work which has gone before.
So here's a suggestion for the next phase. Make the VLAR autokill threshhold a variable, and read it in from an XML file somewhere [I used to love .INI files when I was programming, but I digress]. That way, those of us who like living dangerously can test out ever-lower ARs, while the default value can stay at the nice safe (I would say over-cautious) 0.14 level. And we don't have to ask Crunch3r to compile a new version every day with the new daily threshhold hard-coded into the source.... :D

There is no way in my scipt to terminate specified WU's (and i will not add it). This script is just watching the process (like you could do via WinTaskManager) and terminating this process if it is idle for 60 sec. The BM is restarting the same wu after this happend. You could do that by yourself by marking the task on WTM and terminate it.
The idea on my script is to do that work after you have filtered your cache and have enough work to do others things than watching the WTK ;)
With non-VLAR-taks that is working fine for me. After a terminate like this the task is running to 100% and at stderr you will see 'Restart at xx%'.
So there is no obstacle to crunch VLAR's. Just dont delete it if BM gets new tasks ;)
But no warranty that it is working if you use my script and crunch VLAR's. If you get a driver-crash all following WU's will maybe fail :P

Hehe, actually, it's my build again, no prob to rebuild it (just for sake of total and complete correctness ;D ) Idea with variable threshold is good but I personally have hope and trust that this annoing VLAR issue will be solved very soon. So actually do't want to put any more efforts in this - many different tasks on hold...
