The Status Interval setting in Apple Qadministrator Cluster Preferences takes precedence
over the Update frequency setting in Batch Monitor Preferences. The Batch Monitor can
provide new status information only as often as it receives it from the cluster controller, as
set in the Status Interval field of the Apple Qadministrator Cluster Preferences dialog. See
“Setting Cluster Preferences” in the

Distributed Processing Setup

guide for more information.

You can set how many
seconds should pass
before the Batch Monitor
updates with information
sent by the processing
computer.
