ExitWhenOutOfWork=n where n is the number of seconds to wait before exiting. Waiting several seconds gives mprime some time to send the last results to the server.
I tried this on a Colab session, running ECM Stage 1 curves, but the program did not exit. It just sat there waiting. The line added to prime.txt is:

ExitWhenOutOfWork=15

UsePrimenet is set to 0, NoMoreWork is set to 1, and GmpEcmHook is set to 1.

I have confirmed that prime95 will not run on Catalina -- thanks Apple! The error message is most uninformative.

I cannot upgrade my Mac to Catalina. Catalina eliminates support for 32-bit apps. The editor I use is 32-bits. VNC program I use is 32-bits. Several games I run occasionally are 32-bits.

So, aside from guessing at possible causes and fixes, debugging seems to be impossible. I'll think on possible ways forward from here. Not too optimistic.

I appreciate you validating the problem / difficulty. While I am not sure precisely what I might be able to do - if you think of something - just ask.

Mac OS 10.15.1 Catalina

Try this: https://mersenne.org/ftp_root/gimps/...8b7.MacOSX.zip

I downloaded the latest xcode. It would not build prime95 until I created a valid code signing certificate. I'd try it on the wife's MacBook except she's using it now.

Unfortunately, still get the dialog box with the statement that "Prime95" can't be opened when I launch the app.

Using Catalina 10.15.1 Bummer

 2019-12-07, 23:14 #439 pepi37     Dec 2011 After milion nines:) 22·5·71 Posts Can you upgrade routine for calculating expected competition dates: I now run candidates they are finished in 40 minutes, and Prime95 predict 55 minutes. Can somehow Prime95 after few finished times, update that table or recalculate finishing time?
 2019-12-19, 03:19 #440 SethTro     "Seth" Apr 2019 24·17 Posts @George, @Prime95 One difficulty I'm having in my new cluster is managing ECM, P-1 restore files. Is there a tool that reads all the backup/restore files in a directory and prints their status (e.g. PM1 complete to B1=, B2= ...)? If I write a small patch to add a new command (or cli flag) for this would you being willing to consider pulling it in a future release? Thanks.
