So in previous versions I set up a hotkey to run this script from the Monitor. It was a very quick and easy way to get into a machine. But in 7 it keeps asking me for the machine name…unless I run it from the right-click menu. I’m assuming there’s something in the script itself that will allow me to disable that window using a hotkey. But I’m not quite sure how to do it.
Got it. Just changed this from True to False.
Line 50 - showWindow = True
OOPs, spoke too soon. Seems like I have to make it grab the machine name as well. It just uses the last name entered. I need to dig more.
Gah, so I set the hotkey in the General Scripts menu. I should have set it in the Slave Scripts menu.
Hello James,
In the window that pops up, there is an option ‘hide this window if running from a right-click script menu’ box. If you have set up the shortcut key in the script menus section of the repo options, you should be able to enable that and it will act as if it is using the right-click script option.
Thanks, I saw this as well. I had forgotten how I set it up in Deadline 6. But it was a fun jaunt through the Remote script.
is there a way to modify the script so it always logs in with the same credentials, ones which arent the user running monitor?
we have a shared account for RDC to our slaves and I would love to not have to type the credentials every time.
I dont know python but I have some coding experience.
thanks!
Hey Troy,
I am going to have to look into this a bit deeper to see if I can reproduce what you are seeing, and if so, how to code it to work like you want.
