Maybe you can shut down the distcc server while you run the the tests; distcc will automatically skip servers that are not running. Of course, this may turn out to be error-prone, but if a few hosts are left offline by accident it isn't a catastrophe or anything. __ distcc mailing list http://distcc.samba.org/ To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/distcc
