Does anyone know how to use the deadline run command utility to launch the Vray DR server remotely?
Have tried a few things but no joy.

What have you tried so far? I would think it would just be enough to provide the full path to the executable. Just make sure to place double quotes around the path if there are spaces in it.
Cheers,
here is what I have tried:
Machine Name Command Timestamp Status Results
Rend005 Execute ““C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2011\vray\bin\vray.exe” -server -portNumber=20207” 7/14 13:24 Failed Failure: empty string
Rend005 Execute “C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2011\vray\bin\vray.exe” -server -portNumber=20207 7/14 13:25 Failed error occurred while reading reply: Index was outside the bounds of the array. (System.IndexOutOfRangeException)
Rend005 Execute “C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2011\vray\bin\vray.exe” 7/14 13:28 Succeeded Command exited with code: -1073741510
none of these work.
When I try the second one On REND005 in the Run dialog, it works just fine.
On REND005, when I try these remote commands, the console pops up but the cursor just sits there and nothing happens.
R
Maybe try this:
cmd /C start "vrayserver" "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2011\vray\bin\vray.exe" -server -portNumber=20207
That should tell it to start the program and return immediately, although I still get “Pending” in the remote command status window…
I guess the main issue is that the system was designed to start a process and wait for it to complete. In this case, you just want to start the process without actually “monitoring” it.
