Discussions about general usage of Muster http://www.vvertex.com/forum/list.php?19 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 16:20:16 +0200 Phorum 5.2.11 http://www.vvertex.com/forum/read.php?19,882,882#msg-882 http://www.vvertex.com/forum/read.php?19,882,882#msg-882
Not sure if I'm understanding the operation/function of the 'force logout' shutdown policy because although the node does logout as configured (either by date/time or idle status), the user is unable to log back in. When entering a valid username/password, Windows starts to login and then immediately logs them out- a system restart is required to log back in.

All of our clients automatically login so I'd like to force a logout after 30 minutes of inactivity. Any suggestions on how best to configure my clients accordingly?

Thanks,
Dan

Many thanks]]> stezza Muster usage Tue, 07 Sep 2010 17:18:04 +0200 http://www.vvertex.com/forum/read.php?19,794,794#msg-794 http://www.vvertex.com/forum/read.php?19,794,794#msg-794 As we load our render wall up with thousands of jobs at a time I was wondering if there is anyway to speed up mrtool, or to connect to muster (through commandline) once then send a large number of jobs to the que instead of authenticating and transfering templates with every submission.

Any thoughts?

"Server side" stands for path seen by dispatcher.

The issue is this:
When I render my scene using the maya software engine the resulting frames are '-rw-r--r--' this makes them read only when seen by a windows workstation.
Strangly if I render the exact same scene with the maya mentalRay engine I get permissions of '-rw-rw-rw-' which is exactly what I want.

Does anyone know what the difference could be between these 2 engines, and how I can force the permissions that the renders are given?

Kind regards,

Error: File not found.:
Error: Cannot load scene "T:/JOBS/scenes/job1.ma". Please check the scene name.

I can open the file on this computer. The T drive is our shared server. The render client service is starting with Muster credentials, which is an administrator and has the server network drive mapped as "T:"
Muster 6.0.3

Is there a different setting for Win7 than XP?

"Logon check>Make client unavailable on user logging" and "Unavailable" Time rules seem to have no effect.

Instances that should be made unavailable (due to users logged in or time rule) still show the green icon and still pick up jobs.

After changing the config, I have done Soft Restart on the affected instances.

The time rules I set are
1)Monday-Thurday 0700-2059 Unavailble
2)Friday-Friday 0700-1705 Unavailable

Here is the Behaviour block of rc.conf from one of the affected instances.

Can anyone else confirm this behaviour? Try this in the script editor in maya (adjust for your own server and user, of course)

string $CMD = ("mrtool -s 10.0.0.166 -u admin -p \"\"");
system($CMD);]]> mikethomson Muster usage Thu, 03 Dec 2009 23:36:57 +0100 http://www.vvertex.com/forum/read.php?19,684,684#msg-684 http://www.vvertex.com/forum/read.php?19,684,684#msg-684
i am new to this software, i was used to make bash shells and run them from cygwin for my renders...
i use maya 2009 64 bit, and mental ray for my renders.
I was wodeting if the is any way to have muster, give more detailed progrress messages.
for instance ....in the command line i can say something like:
"render -r mr -s 1 -e 1 -v 5 -mem 6000 filename.ma"
and i would get detailed meessages whyle is rendering because of the verbosity level ("-v 5").
Is the any way to set that up in the muster console?

Thank you very much for your help.]]> tzufli Muster usage Wed, 25 Nov 2009 11:28:23 +0100 http://www.vvertex.com/forum/read.php?19,682,682#msg-682 http://www.vvertex.com/forum/read.php?19,682,682#msg-682 Thanks!]]> swagstaff Muster usage Mon, 18 Jan 2010 00:27:27 +0100
