Compressor [-clustername
[-destinationpath
In this example,
-jobpath
,
-settingpath
, and
-destinationpath
can be repeated as
many times as the number of jobs you want to submit.
Note: Not all the options are necessary. For example, you can specify the cluster either
by its
-clustername
or by its
-clusterid
. You do not need to specify both. If both are
specified, only
-clusterid
is used.
Additionally, if you specify
-batchfilepath
, then
-jobpath
,
-settingpath
, and
-destinationpath
are not necessary because the previously saved batch file already
contains information about the job, settings, and destination.
Example of
-batchfilepath
:
Compressor -clustername "This Computer" -batchfilepath
"/Volumes/Hermione/SavedCompressorBatches/FreeChampagne.compressor"
Once the job is submitted successfully, this command displays the batch ID (identifier)
and job ID (identifier) in the shell, and you can monitor the progress of a batch in
Batch Monitor.
Command Options
This table provides information about each of the command options for submitting jobs.
Description
Submission command option
Use to specify the name of the cluster to which you want to send
the job. Using the cluster name, Compressor looks for the cluster
on the network in order to use it.
-clustername
User password for the cluster specified by ID or name.
-password
Use to specify a name for the batch so that you can easily recognize
it in Batch Monitor.
-batchname
Optionally, you can use
-clusterid
to enter the cluster ID and
port number instead of using
-clustername
. (When you enter
the cluster ID and port, less time is required to find the cluster on
the network.)
Or, if you used
-clustername
and the cluster requires a password,
use
-clusterid
to specify the user name and password. (You
need to include the
IP address:port number
as well whenever
you use
-clusterid
.)
Use
Compressor -show
to see a cluster's IP address and port
number.
-clusterid name:password@IP address:port number> Specifies the priority level for a job. -priority 38 Chapter 1 Using Apple Qmaster 3
