Free Disk Space

Deadline
1

Hi, in the machine list of the Monitor, there is the Free Disk Space value.



I would like to know how often this value is refreshed. Is it only when the slave start or once every hour or something else?



What command do you use to get this info?

I am considering doing a pre-script to copy maps on local machine before the rendering start and I would need to know if there is enough space of the local drive before copying a bunch of maps.



Thanks

Hey Sylvain,



That value is refreshed every 20-40 seconds. It’s part of the slave info file which the slave uses to update the monitor with it’s current state. You can use…



DeadlineCommand.exe -slaveinfo



…to print out this information (look for the SlaveFreeDiskSpace key).



Cheers,
