Apple Qmaster 4 - Manual (Page 29)

4 For each job you want to add to the batch, click the Add (+) button, then type the UNIX
command in the Command column.
The UNIX command might specify, for example, the application, an output destination,
and a couple of command-line options.
Type the command in
the Command column.
Note: If you need to delete a job from this batch (before you submit the batch), select
the job you want to delete and click the Remove (–) button.
5 As needed, set the following options for this batch.
• Submit To: Choose a cluster to process this batch.
• Working Directory: If relevant, enter the working directory (from which you want the
command to be executed).
• Priority: Choose the priority level from the pop-up menu. The higher the priority, the
sooner and faster this batch will be processed relative to other batches.
• Delay: Specify how long you would like the system to wait before processing this batch.
6 Click Submit to submit the batch for processing.
Using Nodes Without Apple Qmaster Installed
You can create a cluster containing one or more computers that do not have Compressor
installed. To do this, you configure an intermediary service node that executes
Apple Qmaster commands on other computers, called extended nodes. The intermediary
service node runs UNIX Apple Qmaster commands on the extended nodes via the SSH
(secure shell) UNIX program, so that the extended nodes can process Apple Qmaster
batches without having Compressor installed. This type of cluster is called an extended
node cluster.
