Batch Monitor and Distributed Processing
If you have set up an Apple Qmaster distributed processing system to process
Compressor or Apple Qmaster jobs, then Batch Monitor will offer some additional
features. For example, both administrators and client users can use the Batch Monitor
to monitor the processing of submitted jobs. Administrators can stop or cancel any
batch, as long as they have the administrator password for the cluster that is
processing the batch, and users can stop or cancel their own batches.
The Batch Monitor and Passwords
There are different kinds of passwords that may affect how you use the
Batch Monitor. See the
Distributed Processing Setup guide for more information.
