Deadline 2.7 MAIL problems

My settings sre set to Email

Hmm, try setting it to none and see if the slaves still get hung up on

the job. This will at least help detemine if the problem is related to

the notification sending or something completely different.


My settings sre set to Email

when i set to none than all fine

Hmm, this is strange. What’s odd is that we didn’t change anything

between how the email notification is sent between Deadline 2.6 and 2.7.

Here’s something to try:


  1. Open up a command prompt on the slave machine that’s causing the problem.
  2. Run this command from the command all one line). Make sure to

    replace username@domain.com with the email address that’s specified in

    your user settings (where you checked the notification method earlier).



    c:\deadline\bin\deadlinecommand.exe -sendemail -to username@domain.com

    -subject testing -message hello





    This sends an email using the same method that the slave does. Let me

    know if this works or if it hangs like the slave does.



    Thanks!


I have got the same problem with Deadline 2.6 too…

Ok I’ve tried the message was sent and i recieved it but command prompt is not releasing and in task manager DeadlineCommand.exe is sitting

this happens on all machines in render farm…

Sorry i didn’n want to post it 3 times.

Hehe, no worries. It happens a lot. :slight_smile:



Well, it’s good to know that you had this problem in 2.6, which means we

didn’t introduce any new problems. Do you have any problems sending

email normally from that machine (using outlook or thunderbird, etc)?


ok.i figured it out it was our system administrators problem…

what about context menus?I don’t have any in my explorer shell

the problem cave again.

i don’t know how to fix it

slave sends the message all OK but he did not finish rendering and continue to say that he is rendering…

He is not releasing…

If i turn off email notification than all OK.

yt finishes his job and releasing him self for next job

Did you try sending emails from one of the slave machines using an email

client liek outlook or thunderbird? That would help determine if this is

a Deadline issue or a network issue.


hi there, i too had many problems sending email as a job finish…and i still have not found which kind of admin thing is…

can u tell me which was yours?



thanks

I have tried to send emails from one of the slave machines using an email

client outlook and all works fine!!!



Deadline is sending email too and it works fine but problem is that this command :

“deadlinecommand.exe -sendemail” is not ending itself.

as result “Slave” can’t free himself too and “Slave” thinks that he is still rendering…

this is not a network bug this is yours “deadlinecommand.exe” bug.

Try this. Open up a command prompt, and type the following (replacing

‘example’ with the appropriate domain name). After typing each line,

press ENTER. Note that if you make a mistake on a line, just press enter

and type it in again (using backspace doesn’t actually correct the mistake).





TELNET mail.example.com



HELO mail.example



MAIL FROM:deadline@example.com



RCPT TO:yourself@example.com



DATA



Testing



.



QUIT





This is essentially what Deadline is doing to send an email, so if this

works for you, I can’t see what Deadline is doing wrong. Let me know how

the test goes.



Cheers,

I tried all telnet comands all works.

maybe i’m not clearly explain…



Deadline email works FINE TOO

and it sends email…

the PROBLEM is that process is not terminating himself…in log window of Slave is this :



Scheduler Thread - notification targets…

Scheduler Thread - elexirdesign

notifying SOMEUSER via email…



and it longs forever…

but email was already sent and i’d recieved it…ALL ok…

but slave saying that he is still

notifying SOMEUSER via email…
