Re: [Condor-users] Condor GUI preview available

[Dave Lajoie <davelaj@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Filip!

I have tried it and it works like a breeze!
Tx mate

I will re-install it on my local condor cluster at home, since it is so
useful!
tx again for sharing this tool.

> HAS_MAYA_60 = TRUE
> HAS_MAX_6 = TRUE
> HAS_XSIBATCH_42 = TRUE
> JAVA_PATH = "$(JAVA)"

> JAVA_EXTRA_ARGUMENTS = -Xmx1024M -Dpath.maya.60=/usr/aw/maya6.0

> Installation:
> -------------
>
> - Unzip gdi-queue.zip
> - Go inside of the directory, and start the app as follows:
>
> java -jar gdi-queue-application.zip
>
> - First time, you will need to tell it about the location

> Usage:
> -------
>
> There's three panels: a machine view, a view that lists jobs
> that are submitted from the local machine, and a view that lists
> the jobs currently running in the queue.
>
> To submit a job, click the Add button, select the template
> you want; and set the input file and output file. E.g.
> for the maya template, point the input to a .mb file, and
> set the output e.g. to /tmp/image.0.jpg.
>
> You will see the progress of the job in the view and can
> browse all the logs.
>
> Caveats:
> ----------------------
> - need to hook thumbnail generation of output files back up.
> - needs quite a bit more testing. 3dsmax template is fully
> untested.
