Hi, I came across CGru which is an opensource .py script/code for noding machines into a farm. I found this as setup instruction for installing it into softimage: http://cgru.sourceforge.net/afanasy/plugins/xsi/doc/setup.html
Here´s some more info: http://cgru.info/software/xsi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYVZvlXdBsg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvRInW5hLtc As you can see this runs a command line, fires up xsi_batch.exe and xsi.exe and basically then through their admin panel you can add nodes and submit a job. I know this is kinda silly asking (taking into account more powerful managers exist such as "Backburner") <- I´m being gentle. :) .... here´s my question: Anyone has tried this? looks like there´s no real power on administrating machines with CGru, but I´m asking on the list, just in case anyone has come across, installed and actually made it work on SI2014-15. Cheers. :) -- Portfolio 2013 <http://be.net/3dcinetv> Cinema & TV production Video Reel <https://vimeo.com/3dcinetv/reel2012>
