Auto-Connect When this switch is turned on, you can automatically connect to a manager without the Connect To Manager dialog appearing. Whatever setting have been made in the Connect To Manager dialog will be used. Request Queue Control Lets you gain control over the rendering queue. Available only when Queue Monitor is running on two or more machines in the network, and your copy was not the first one run. When you request queue control, a dialog appears on the controlling machine informing that user of the request. The dialog counts down 10 seconds, and if no response is made during that time, or the OK button is clicked, control transfers to the requesting Queue Monitor, which then informs the requestor of the transfer. If the request is denied, the requesting user is informed of that fact. Request Client List Displays a dialog listing the rendering servers on the network, and showing which is the controller (i.e., the active Queue Monitor) and the user name. Use this to determine which server is currently controlling the queue. Auto-Refresh When on, Queue Monitor automatically updates the information in its windows every 20 seconds, or whenever information changes if information changes less frequently. When off, to update the windows you must click the toolbar Refresh button on page 6529. Default=on. Unless you are the only person managing the queue, we recommend leaving Auto-Refresh on. The danger of turning it off is the possibility of getting out of sync with the state of the queue. For instance, if another person deletes a job and you decide to edit that job, when you finish editing that job, the Manager will send you an error message saying the job no longer exists. Module Info Report Choosing this command opens the Module Info Report dialog on page 6533. For troubleshooting purposes, this command lets you generate a delimited file that shows you the version and location of Backburner plug-ins and the Backburner application itself for each network rendering system. Properties Opens a window that displays information about the current setup of the machine that is running the network Manager, including job and server statistics, the Manager's system configuration, and TCP/IP statistics. Exit Quits the Queue Monitor program. 6526 | Chapter 20 Rendering
