    when we submit renders to muster 6 from maya 2009, mrtool crashes. the same script was fine in muster 5.

    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);

    Hi Tom,

    Not happening here, I’ve also tried with and without a password. Have you tried to setup a password for the admin account ? Maybe the “” are disturbing. Also, when the password is blank, the -p should be avoided at all, we are going to change that in the .mel in the near future, but in the meanwhile you may try this fix.

    Hi Leonardo,

    I setup a new account (mike) with a password (test) and tried the simple login test again, but mrtool still crashes.

    string $CMD = (“mrtool -s 10.0.0.166 -u mike -p test”);
    system($CMD);

    If I take out the user and password flag, I get “Login to Dispatcher denied.” It seems to have a problem when I specify a user.
    I’ve tried different users, with and without passwords, but mrtool either crashes or denies the login.

    edit1:
    Windows XP 64,
    Maya 2009 sp1a x64
    Muster 6.0

    edit 2:
    Just to clarify, running the equivalent command from a command prompt works fine:
    >mrtool -s 10.0.0.166 -u mike -p test

    I guess we can add [SOLVED] to the thread title.

    After a little digging around the muster scripts, I found that you were changing the working directory to the muster install before you invoked the mrtool command.

    I added:
    chdir “C:\Program Files\Virtual Vertex\Muster 6”;
    before my little trouble shooting script and it’s now working. This is different from the way muster 5 works, but at least it’s working now…

    Well, depends on the version of Muster 5 you were using. Dependancies from some .DLL in the installation directory have been add since several months and this fix , i.e. is required even with 5.5.8.

    We were running version 5.5.3. We found it nice and stable so no need for us to update.
    :)
