I don’t get the add or remove pool script.



How is it different from modifying the pool list from the monitor?

It’s useful if you have a bunch of slaves that have different pool

configurations, and you want to simply assign all of them a particular

pool without worrying about overwriting every slave’s custom pool

configuration.



Say you have 3 slaves with assigned pools as follows:

Slave1: 3dmax, dfusion, aeffects

Slave2: testing, RnD

Slave3: dfusion, testing, 3dsmax



If you want to add the pool “maya” to each slave, and you go through the

normal way of assigning pools, the slave’s custom pool configurations

will be overwritten. Using the pool script simply adds the maya pool to

each slave’s pool list.



Hope that makes sense.

Yes, it makes total sense.

This is great stuff! It will save a lot of time managing pools.
