Backburner Autodesk Download Manager

Backburner is a queue manager for background processing and distributed network processing. It allows multiple jobs, such as I/O operations, grading, composites, and animation scenes, to be processed by many computers on the same network. By default it is installed on all Creative Finishing workstations, but you can install it on networked computers if you want to offload some processing. If you do not want to use the local Backburner Manager installed on your workstation, type the following commands to disable it. Chkconfig backburner_manager off /etc/init.d/backburner_manager stop If you stopped the local Manager, open /usr/discreet/backburner/cfg/manager.host and delete 'localhost', and enter the hostname of the system where Backburner Manager is installed. Linux Install Backburner on a Linux workstation: • As root, in a terminal, if installing from the application DVD, mount the DVD, navigate to the dist subdirectory of the application directory, and install the Backburner packages with: rpm -Uvh backburner*386.rpm. If the application DVD includes an installation script for Backburner, use that instead.
