Example of Shake Command XML
The code below is an example of XML code for submitting a Shake command. Notice
that because it needs to be entered as one command line, every character after
-options that isn’t alphanumeric must be preceded with a back slash (\).
/Applications/Apple\ Qmaster.app/Contents/MacOS/Apple\ Qmaster -clustername elvis
-command "Shake” -options \shake.app\/Contents\/MacOS\/shake\"\ script\=\"\/Volumes\/Jaguar\/scripts\/
applestyle.shk\"\ start\=\"1\"\ end\=\"1000\"\ stepsOf\=\"1\"\ minCount\=\"10\"\
otherOptions\=\"\"\ previewNode\=\"\"\ previewWidth\=\"0\"\ shutterOn\=\"yes\"\
motion\=\"yes\"\ proxyFlags\=\"0\"\ proxyScale\=\"1.000000\"\
proxyRatio\=\"1000.000000\"\ shutter\=\"1.000000\"\>\<\/command\>
Note: Apple Qmaster stores the XML code for the last command you entered in
~Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleQmaster.plist. You can copy the command in
XML form there, and customize it to use for a new job submission. Remember that
every character after -options that isn’t alphanumeric must be preceded with a
backslash (\).
