Deadline user

Deadline
1

Hi,I have this Maya script that run everytime Maya is launched, this script check a lot of config files and the Deadline User.



Because the users in Deadline are seperate from the windows user it is possible for userA to log on a machine and send a deadline as userB.



I would like to make sure that the user loged on the computer match the Deadline user.



I beleive I can have my mel script to edit the c:\Deadline\deadline.ini file, but I would like to do it using deadline commands if possible.



I have looked at the DeadlineCommand.exe and could find a way to do it. Is it possible to do?



Thanks

Hi Sylvain,



The new version will allow you to do this. The command will be:



> DeadlineCommand.exe -changeuser [username]



If you leave [username] out, it will popup a dialog and you can change the user that way.



Cheers,

Along these same lines… is it possible to get the current Deadline user via the Commandline?





thanks

There isn’t currently an option for that, but it’s a good idea. Parsing Deadline.ini is the best option for the time being.
