// sample_work_generator.cpp: an example BOINC work generator.
// This work generator has the following properties
// (you may need to change some or all of these):
//
// - Runs as a daemon, and creates an unbounded supply of work.
//   It attempts to maintain a "cushion" of 100 unsent job instances.
//   (your app may not work this way; e.g. you might create work in batches)
// - Creates work for the application "example_app".
// - Creates a new input file for each job;
//   the file (and the workunit names) contain a timestamp
//   and sequence number, so they're unique.
