Two recently-posted systems might help. 1) dmucs, http://lists.samba.org/archive/distcc/2006q1/003259.html, dmucs.sf.net, can check for idle desktops See http://lists.samba.org/archive/distcc/2006q1/003271.html for the script it uses. You could use a similar script to shut down distccd when the screensaver isn't running. 2) my lsdistcc, http://lists.samba.org/archive/distcc/2005q3/003167.html, scans all the distcc servers and ignores any that respond too slowly; this helps avoid using busy systems -- and systems which aren't running distccd at the moment. One or both of those might help. - Dan -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv __ distcc mailing list http://distcc.samba.org/ To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/distcc
