BOINC's exclusive app list is a good way to allow programs priority over BOINC tasks, but when the exclusive program quits, BOINC tasks immediately run again. A user-adjustable delay would be helpful to delay starting the tasks again even after the exclusive app has stopped.

As far as I know, it takes up to 30 seconds before science applications start running again after coming out of exclusive_app modus. If you want more than that, probably best pause BOINC.

There was this request to add a user settable (re)start_delay on exclusive applications, but the developers feel this overcomplicates BOINC and its preferences.

So, pound sand.

Problem fixed by uninstalling BOINC.

Just use the after boot delay?

No, that one doesn't work on exclusive applications. And when --whatshisname, a German, I forget-- asked about that about a year orso back, that was too complicated to add. Or some such.

Wow, rage much? What's the big deal? All those few minutes are gonna do is give your computer a sort of cooldown, which won't matter because BOINC will just heat it up again.
