I run RakeSearch (Opti v1.0) 7.02 app I created app_config.xml file to run 3 tasks at once.

<app_config>
 <app>        
  <name>rakesearch</name>
  <user_friendly_name>RakeSearch (Opti v1.0)</user_friendly_name>
   <max_concurrent>3</max_concurrent>
 </app>

However these settings are ignored and Boinc keeps crunching more than three tasks. When I hit 'Read config files' Boinc manager logs shows this only

Hello! Could you try to restart BOINC client? I am not sure that all settings from *_config.xml will be read in runtime.

Thank you for participation!

Hi hoarfrost,

Restarting Boinc client helped and project is crunching as per app_config file.
Should have tried this in first place.

Settings in app_config can be re-read when using the BOINC read config file function. BOINCTasks specifies app_config in the button. The event log will show this and any possible errors in the syntax. app_info.xml files require a client restart.

I agree. I tried this in first place and got only message about re-reading configuration file (see my first post).
