Hi, I'm trying to set my BOINC manager so that it only runs during certain hours of the day and never on Saturday or Sunday. Under Preferences - Processor Usage, I have set 07:30 to 18:30 for each of Monday through Friday, but I left saturday and sunday blank, because I don't want it to run on the weekend. Except, this isn't working and its currently running. What am I supposed to enter so that it doesn't run at all on a certain day? Thanks for the help.

I don't know, it would seem if you left it unchecked it wouldn't run but if nothing else works you could put 1:00am to 1:01am.

You need to set the period to 24:00-00:00. If you're not running BOINC 6.10 you'll have to manually edit that into global_prefs_override.xml (in the BOINC data directory).
