Hello,
The default Worker Scheduling allows one to start and stop the deadline worker according to various criteria presented in the UI. We are currently launching our workers through a linux service, so we’d like to use Scheduling to either:
1)Stop/Start/Restart a bespoke linux worker.service.
or
2)Enable/Disable the standard worker instead of starting/stopping the standard worker.
Is this possible? Are there other alternatives that you’d recommend?
Thanks,
-Jake
The Worker Scheduling should work as you as expected. The idle detection would not not work with Deadline is running as service, as listed limitation here: Worker Scheduling — Deadline 10.3.0.15 documentation
You can group the render nodes in Worker Scheduling and apply the Worker Scheduling on them.
In addition, does idle detection and scheduling use these particular Remote Control commands to start and stop the workers? Or does it use something else like deadlinecommand ?
