SubmitCommandLineJob -HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

Deadline

C:\Users\matt>DeadlineCommand.exe -SubmitCommandLineJob -executable “C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2009\bin\Render.exe” -arguments “-r file -s -e -b 5 \proj\testing\meatball.mb” -frames 1-100 -chunksize 5 -pool mayaFunc -priority 50 -name “Maya fgBatch Job”

I tried submitting this command to deadline, but got this error:

Error: plugin name specified by job, “CommandLine”, is not a known plugin name. (Deadline.Submission.DeadlineSubmissionException)

I think the error speaks for itself… i’m just wondering why i dont have the plugin called “CommandLine” available to me. I’m using Deadline 3.1
would it be a matter of case sensitivity? because in my list of available plugins i have one called: commandLine
in the error it’s looking for CommandLine, instead of commandLine.

Or perhaps it’s not looking to the correct plugins directory?

It does appear that it is indeed case sensitive. If you rename the plugin folder to CommandLine it should resolve the issue. Out of curiosity? Did the the plugin get installed as “commandLine” or was it changed some time after. Is the repository installed on a Windows, Mac, or Linux server?

It has not changed as far as I know. I believe it was installed that way.
It’s running on a Linux server. I’ll give the renaming a whirl.

That actually worked.
kinda wacky - but it works. so does anyone know if this is an installation bug?
or was it our system?

No idea why it happened on your system, but our installers have been redone in our next release so it shouldn’t come up again.
