network rendering and bat files
network rendering and bat files
Hey,
I have been trying to get some .bat files working on my computer with no luck. I hope that some one knows what I'm doing wrong
On the mater computer I have the following:
autorenderer.bat (sitting on my desktop-master computer)
C:
cd C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 6\Plugins\indigo
start /low /max indigo.exe "\\master\new folder\untitled.igs" -n m -h master:7777
Slave1.bat (sitting on my desktop-master computer)
\\slave1\indigo_v1.1.5\indigo.exe "\\master\c:\new folder\untitled.igs" -n s -h master:7777 -haltspp 100 -t 2
I run the slave1.bat first followed by autorenderer.bat. two indigo rendering windows open on my coputer. One of the windows saids it can't open a log file on the slave1. After a about 1 minute I have a update in the one file received update from ###.###.0.106 (the ip of the master). I have used the windows task manager - performance to see if there is any work being do on slave1 and found that there is no work.
I looked over the forum topics and found no input into this (1.5 hours of trail and errour and research= could have had two images nicely rendered if I got off the chair ). Is there a way to get these bats filed working so that my lazy butt does not have to get off my nice soft chair to get the other computers to run indigo as a slave?
I look forward to you input and comments.
Thanks.

Hi,
If I understand, the two .bat files are launched on the master computer.
So you have two instances of indigo.exe launched on the master, and none on the slave.
If you want slave1.bat to be executed on a slave (from the master), you have to make a remote process execution, with a tool like psexec from sysinternals !

Thanks, I'm looking that program as I write this. Is it freeware or Fee Ware?
Does windows Xp have something like Psexec built in? Or can you use windows remote assist in this fasion?
If I can get the the other computers work as slaves I will so happy! I have two other quads to use as rendering machines but takes too much time to get them setup as slaves. The only thing that I dislike about this kickass rendering program is the time it takes to render
Thanks for the comment.

Sould I leave the bolded area blank?? Will this allow for mutliple computers to render the file?
Thanks.[/b]
start /low /max indigo.exe "\\master\new folder\untitled.igs" -n s -h master:7777Also, once you start the slave processes on the slave machines, they should loop continuously and reconnect when a new render starts, so you can leave the process going

I'm having trouble setting up the remote desktop tool on one of the machines. Does no have that option to be a host, just a user.
I have been walking to each computer tonight, to make sure that they are working. Only one of the two slaves are working. Is there an option for more than one slave or am I doing something wrong?
My bat files on the master:
C:
cd C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 6\Plugins\indigo
start /max indigo.exe "\\powerhouse\New Folder\00_401-8-current.igs" -n wm
My bat files on the slaves:
C:
cd C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 6\Plugins\indigo_v1.1.5
start indigo_console.exe -n s
too much to learn to little time.
Thanks.

Actually, the <-h master:7777> is optional.
If I remember what Ono told us long ago correctly, slaves will automatically look for master's port and connect to that port. And that won't interfere or effect the rendering process on slave.
But then again, I always define master's port on slaves because...well...that's just what I do

Yes it is optional but I have found that one of my computers requires it or it will not pick up the master but chrashes on termination of the render on the master. Where as the other computer does not need it.
I have posted the question/problem in another list:
