Users on Linux machines can control certain job manager features from the command line.
The Job Manager determines whether you have a Thinclient or Workstation version installed, automatically, and sets the environment variables accordingly, before executing the requested solver.
The configuration files for the two versions are found here:
Workstation: /etc/opt/Autodesk/ami{YYYY}-{RR}
Thinclient: $INSTALLATION/mfclient.env
These two files contain a number of value=variable settings that you should only alter if you are an experienced administrator.
The default storage location for database files and temporary files is:
Change this location by setting the environment variable, UJM_JOB_SERVER_STORAGE_PATH, to a different location before starting the job manager. We recommend that you set a minimum mode of 0755 on any folder used for this purpose.
To call the control script via the command line, type:
/etc/init.d/dssp_jobserver {option}
where {option} is one of the following:
| Option | Effect |
|---|---|
| start |
Starts the Job Manager |
| stop |
Stops the Job Manager |
| status |
Queries whether or not the Job Manager is running |
| restart |
Stops, then restarts the Job Manager. This command is useful when you need to force a reread of the configuration files. |
By default, the Job Manager is configured to start automatically, for run levels 2, 3, 4 and 5. When the machine is restarted, the Job Manager also restarts, automatically.
The Thinclient job manager is installed in a child directory of the chosen installation directory ($INSTALLATION ).
To start the Job Manager, type:
$INSTALLATION /autodesk-dssp-20YY-thinclient-XXX/bin/dssp_jobserver
To stop the Job Manager when running as a background process, type either
killall dssp_jobserver, or
kill -9 'pidof dssp_jobserver' and then kill -9 'pidof fs-harness' to terminate it immediately.
To stop the Job Manager from forking into the background, type on the command line:
$INSTALLATION /autodesk-dssp-20YY-thinclient-XXX/bin/dssp_jobserver run
