I am trying to have Boinc run on weekends when I am not using the machine. For security reasons internet logon is for a timed interval and after that period you need to key in password to re-access. This is OK during the week as I restrict its access to my working hours. But on the weekend it can't get access and starts to have a fit. I can modify the Pref file and restart it just before the weekend with climate prediction running so it has plenty of work.
I tried having start and stop times the same, and having stop before start time but no luck. Any suggestions?

Just suspend network access in the Commands Menu of Boinc Manager before leaving work.

Thanks. I guess I spent too much time focussed on controlling everything from the pref file that I overlooked the obvious.
