Crontab calling deadlinecommands

[BlueLegend78]

Hi,

I have this script here which spawns a subprocess that calls

/opt/Thinkbox/Deadline10/bin/deadlinecommand ConnectToSlaveLog W4221 false

to get access to the the current render log of the machine. This script stoped working when i attempt to add it to a crontab with the following error.

I was wondering if this has something to do how i set up my crontab or does this have to do anything on the deadline side. I remember running into a similiar issue here

Accessing current render log from the API

Is there a way to access the current render log (i.e. the slave log) through the API? I’m trying to check for stalled processes, so I need to get the last lines of output. Ideally, I’d love to be able to filter by thread, like I can in the GUI, but that’s not necessary. I looked through all of the commands in Slaves.py, but nothing seemed like it would let me connect to the slave to pull the log.

when i attempted to run that command through deadline monitor. I’ve attached a code snippet with an example.
test.py (651 Bytes)

Thanks!
