Apple Qmaster 3 - Manual (Page 81)

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
Specifies the location of the source file. -jobpath
Specifies the location of the settings for the job. -settingpath
Specifies the destination file URL for the job. -destinationpath
Gives detailed information for a batch or a job. -info
