You're quoting an old message. The Linux application has checkpoints now.

Watching QChem running on BoincTasks 1.85 and it's strange. It says it checkpoints every 30 seconds but watching the atop dsk report writes to the drive are very minimal and nothing close to checkpointing every 30 seconds. My BOINC projects are set to Write to disk at most every 600 seconds. If I highlight all QC WUs and select Suspend at Checkpoint they start to suspend although some seem to take a long time to do so. Less than half suspend quickly but the rest still haven't suspended after 30 minutes.
What is the checkpoint interval?

Checkpoint interval depends of the step of computation. NWchem only checkpoinst efficiently OPT step.
