Currently there are the "Detach/Attach All Hosts Now" icons under the "Options" column on My Projects. I found them to be very very useful, especially when I was adding project after project to my machines over the course of this week, using Attach All Hosts Now for every new project I had just signed up for, instead of needing to attach to each project one by one on each of my 8 different machines on the Host List page.

But now I am feeling a different need... Say for one week I decided to dedicate all my resources to SETI. Currently, I could do Detach All Hosts Now on all projects, leaving SETI be the only project attached & running on all my machines. But that is really using a hammer to do a screwdriver's job. I don't really want to detach from those projects and lose all the work units that are partially done or waiting in my queue. Ideally, I would want to suspend everything except for SETI, and then resume them a week later. Currently, doing that would require suspending each project on each machine, either through BAM! or actually going from machine to machine around the house...

So, I think it would be great for challenges & sprints if BAM! added "Suspend/Resume On All Hosts" icons under Options on My Projects.

A similar case could be made for "No/Allow New Tasks on All Hosts Now" and "Abort not started work on all hosts now" icons, as well. If I wanted to withdraw my support from a project by letting it die down naturally, because I didn't want to lose everything that I already have churning on my machines, or if I notice that a particular project has given all of my machines waaaaaaaay too much work and keeps giving (per BAM!'s reporting, I have 14645 hrs worth of work left to do for PrimeGrid on my machines!! Why?!), then I would love to be able to disallow new tasks for that project on all of my machines, and then re-allow them if need be, or tell it to abort all non-started tasks and see if new ones will come in at a nicer/saner pace.

Merci
