Deadlinercs.exe is constantly popping up 😰

Deadline

I use my pc as a deadline repository. Other pc’s can connect to it and I have to run deadlinercs.exe . The problem is that I have this window deadlinercs.exe constantly on my screen. And once I minimize it, when it updates in 30 seconds it pops up on thee screen again. Is there a ways I can make it stop popping up? Would really appreciate some advice :sparkles: setting it up and doing 30 tests with the pipeline took the life out of me :skull:

There’s a couple ways to resolve that.

  1. Install the Deadline client as a service so the Launcher is run as a service. This way it won’t have permission to create a GUI but still runs. You can do that from an existing install with the InstallLauncherService command. The only issue is that you’ll have to change your shortcut to the Monitor to go to the executable in C:\Program Files\Thinkbox\Deadline10\bin\deadlinemonitor.exe. By default the Launcher launches the Monitor.
  2. In the client config file set KeepRemoteConnectionServerRunning=False. It pulls focus when the launcher is checking if the executable is still active.

Let us know if you’ve got any questions!

Thanks for the reply. I resolved it by just having RBTray minimize the window to windows tray. I’m happy this is the only issue I’ve had and everything runs smoothly :sparkles:
