The slaves are not releasing the task after it is completed.The message just sending fine but slave writing in his output this
…
Scheduler Thread - notification targets…
Scheduler Thread - “some user”
…
and in Monitor window his status not Idle.
until I manually restart the slave…
How to fix it&
Check your SMTP notification settings in the Repository Options, which
can be accessed from the Deadline Monitor in super user mode by
selecting Tools -> Configure Repository Options. If the SMTP mail server
setting is invalid, or the slaves don’t have access to the mail server,
this can cause problems when the slaves try to send a notification message.

problem is that messege is sending fine but slave is not realising and write that he is rendering
if i restart him manually i’got a messege that he was stalled…
and very strange that slave is restarting without GUI and i must kill him from task manager and start again and ht starts ok.

I have an Antivirus and Firewall software may be this is a case?
In the Monitor, can you check your user settings? This can be done by
selecting Tools -> Options. Is your notification method set to Email or
Both?
My settings sre set to Email
Hmm, try setting it to none and see if the slaves still get hung up on
the job. This will at least help detemine if the problem is related to
the notification sending or something completely different.
My settings sre set to Email
when i set to none than all fine
Hmm, this is strange. What’s odd is that we didn’t change anything
between how the email notification is sent between Deadline 2.6 and 2.7.
Here’s something to try:
- Open up a command prompt on the slave machine that’s causing the problem.
- Run this command from the command all one line). Make sure to
replace username@domain.com with the email address that’s specified in
your user settings (where you checked the notification method earlier).
c:\deadline\bin\deadlinecommand.exe -sendemail -to username@domain.com
-subject testing -message hello
This sends an email using the same method that the slave does. Let me
know if this works or if it hangs like the slave does.
Thanks!
I have got the same problem with Deadline 2.6 too…
Ok I’ve tried the message was sent and i recieved it but command prompt is not releasing and in task manager DeadlineCommand.exe is sitting

Sorry i didn’n want to post it 3 times.
Hehe, no worries. It happens a lot. 
Well, it’s good to know that you had this problem in 2.6, which means we
didn’t introduce any new problems. Do you have any problems sending
email normally from that machine (using outlook or thunderbird, etc)?
ok.i figured it out it was our system administrators problem…
what about context menus?I don’t have any in my explorer shell

i don’t know how to fix it
slave sends the message all OK but he did not finish rendering and continue to say that he is rendering…
He is not releasing…
If i turn off email notification than all OK.
yt finishes his job and releasing him self for next job
Did you try sending emails from one of the slave machines using an email
client liek outlook or thunderbird? That would help determine if this is
a Deadline issue or a network issue.
hi there, i too had many problems sending email as a job finish…and i still have not found which kind of admin thing is…
can u tell me which was yours?
thanks
