Deadlinecommand.exe, RemoteControl

cadpeople · February 4, 2009, 2:38pm

HI,

I have been trying to start/stop/“execute commandline” machines remote via the Deadlinecommand.exe, but I can’t get it to work, is there something I have misunderstood, very likely
I have tried things like DeadlineCommand.exe -RemoteControl Render3 -StartSlave without any luck…

From the documentation:
RemoteControl Send the remote command to the Deadline Launcher running on the specified machine(s)
[Machine Name(s)] The machine name, or a list of machine names separated by commas
[Remote Command] The remote command
[Argument]

Try the following:

DeadlineCommand.exe -RemoteControl Render3 LaunchSlave

DeadlineCommand.exe -RemoteControl Render3 StopSlave

We really should better document what the available commands are.

Thanks for the, as always, fast respond

Would it be possible to see all the available commands?
or can I look them up somewhere?

Here are the standards:

StopLauncher
LaunchMonitor
LaunchNetworkConfig
LaunchJobMonitor
LaunchSlave
LaunchSlaveDelay
StopSlave
RelaunchSlave
ForceStopSlave
ForceRelaunchSlave
LaunchPulse
StopPulse
RestartPulse
StopMonitor
StopJobMonitor
StopConfig

I think they’re pretty self explanatory, but if you have any questions about specific commands, let us know!

That was fast

What about “execute command”?, is that possible

rrussell · February 4, 2009, 6:27pm

Oops, missed that one. Here are the commands:

Execute
ExecuteNoWait

For example:

DeadlineCommand.exe -RemoteControl Render3 Execute "c:\path\to\application.exe"

I should note that currently cmd /C commands will not work. This is a bug we found in 3.0 that will be fixed in the 3.1 release in March.

Cheers,

Ryan

DeadlineCommand.exe -RemoteControl [machine name] OnLastTaskComplete RestartSlave
DeadlineCommand.exe -RemoteControl [machine name] OnLastTaskComplete ShutdownMachine
