Deadline Version: 6.1.0.54178 R - windows 7 Pro 64
I’ve noticed that opening the Power Management window ( PMw ) will disable a part of it’s own functionality when there are more then 1 important processes assigned to prevent the idle-shutdown routine.
Every time the “ok” button is pushed all but the first process will get an additional, empty space in front of them.
And this causes that process to no longer be recognized and results in a machine shutdown.
to reproduce the problem:
- open PMw and press ‘set’ to add more then 1 process in the important process window on each line.
- press ok
- all but the first process will have an empty space added in front of their name.
- do this 4 times and you’ll have the result as in the attached image.
to prevent the problem:
- open PMw and press ‘set’ to add more then 1 proces in the important process window on 1 line & separated with a comma.
- press ok
- close the PMw
to break it again:
- open PWw
- press ok to close the window
to keep it functional:
- open PMw
- press cancel to close the window
I use this to prevent my workstation from being shutdown by deadline.
It was kinda shocking the first time to get kicked out of my own system 
hope this helps.
