Re: scheduling xgrid for specific hours



Adam,

`system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | sed -nE 's/.*Model Name:(.*)/\1/ p'` should output the hardware type. Just test it against the MacMini's output and test the date. It should do the thing.

Perhaps you could run a launchd or cron that touches/deletes a file on the specified times and then modify the art script to look for the file. So, art only returns 1 during specified times on those minis. Or, you could write the time limits right into the art script itself, provided you have some way to identify the minis.

I'd like to take advantage of the mac minis we use as classroom encoders during off hours to encode archived content for delivery. We have approx. 30 mac minis in the classroom and will likely reach 70 by 2010. Our Xserve stack will be running 24/7 (fiber connection to SAN), but we are considering using our mac mini classroom encoders (NFS mount) as well at night. I tested an encode over our network, and the performance is lousy but good enough. Beyond scheduling Podcast Producer to run jobs at a specific time, is there a way to configure an agent to accept jobs only during specific hours?
