Is there a way to launch a new slave instance locally rather than through the monitor?
Sure…
-
Via Deadline Launcher - assuming you have user permissions to do so:
docs.thinkboxsoftware.com/produc … nu-options -
Via the CLI.
What way were you thinking?
Hmm, I don’t see anywhere to launch a brand new instance from the launcher.
I’m just exploring ways to easily launch and close new slave instances on a render machine. I was curious because I couldn’t see how to do it locally (outside of the Monitor).
But I’m considering making a custom script that would more quickly allow me to create and kill instances. I know I can make one through a Monitor script. The .ini files tend to hang around after shitting down a slave instance and I will want to clean those up so the instances don’t just pop back on at a later date.
Cool thanks Mike!
