Running the Linux Agent

I have a result that the BOINC Manager reports as being "Ready to Report." What does that mean?
My Linux Agent keeps writing "Deferring communication with project for W days, X hours, Y minutes, and Z seconds". What does this mean and how do I get it to connect now?

The BOINC client returns a completed work unit to the server in a two-step process. The first step is the uploading of the calculated data (called the result file). The second step is for the BOINC client to contact the server and report that the work unit is complete and to provide additional information, including how long it took to process the work unit. The BOINC Manager will report a work unit’s status as 'Uploading' as soon as the work unit has completed. Once the file has been uploaded, then the BOINC Manager will report the work unit as 'Ready to Report'. More information about work unit status messages can be found at: http://boinc-doc.net/boinc-wiki/index.php?title=Work_Tab#Status_Column

This message appears when the agent has experienced a problem connecting to the server. This could be because of some problem on your local computer or because World Community Grid's servers are temporarily unavailable due to maintenance or updates.

Agents delay their attempt to reconnect because during the time that the servers are unavailable, more and more computers will be wanting to connect to the servers. Once the servers became available they could become overwhelmed if all of the agents attempt to contact them at once. This mechanism reduces the chances of the servers being overwhelmed.

You can force your Linux agent to contact the servers immediately by using the "Update Project feature of the BOINC client. If you are using the command line client, then do the following steps:
- Stop the BOINC client. You can do this by running the following command:
  
  pkill boinc
- Next change to the directory where you installed boinc. For many users this will be /home/username/BOINC where username is the name that you use to login into the Linux computer.
- Next start the boinc client with the following command:
  
  ./boinc -update_prefs http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org
If you are using the BOINC manager, then you can cause the client to immediately connect to the server by going to the projects tab, selecting 'World Community Grid' and then click on the 'Update' button.
