VrayDR (start/stop) utility

[dbuchhofer]

One more quick update.. not much changed other than the loop is in dos now instead of in maxscript, so there is only 1 dos window opened for handling multiple machines.

also, threw it on scriptspot since i haven't heard any reply as to people having problems yet.. http://scriptspot.com/3ds-max/server-utilities

Cheers.

2010

Anything for 2010? It looks like a great tool.

[dbuchhofer]

as far as i know the maxscript version should work fine in 2010, if you have any issues let me know.

I confess i haven't felt the need to update to 2010 yet, so i haven't tested it out

Just tried this.. freezes Max everytime, have to restart....

I don't have any problems with max freezing... but I do have another issue.

Our Max installation is in Program Files. so the working_directory variable in the script calls the long file name path to the pstools and breaks. I think it needs to be in quotes?

When pressing the Process List button for instance:

'C:\Program' is not recongnized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Changing Line374 to:

pstoolsdos server "cmd.exe" command:(" /K " +"\"" +((working_directory)+"\\pslist.exe\" \\\\") + server) dir:sysInfo.systemdir()

does the trick for that button... but I'm not certain on how to fis the issue in your functions.

... any chance to uninstall it ?

My max startup is getting slower and i have to figure out why

[dbuchhofer]

It shouldn't make any difference to the startup, as there isn't anything thats run until you actually call the script

but you can manually remove it by deleting the folder 3DSMAX\scripts\ServerUtilities, and ServerUtilities.mcr from UI\Macroscripts

jonan, My appologies, i had fixed that months ago, but had never updated the link on the first page of this thread. try the .85 version and it should behave with normal paths!

good to know, i was not shure if it starts anything in the background ... and before i run into troubles ..

thanks for the info
