We have both Macs and PCs and Rush is set up and working for the most 
part.  We're a bit stuck on a couple of things.  Our Mac workstation is 
also the server, and it shows up in iRush as online, but any job 
submitted from a PC does not get picked up by the Mac.  The PCs pick it 
up and work fine.  If we submit a job from the Mac, both Mac and PCs 
will pick it up, and the Mac renders fine, but the PCs all fail until we 
go into Job Edit and add //servername/ at the beginning of the perl 
command.  Then both Macs and PCs render fine.  In the root of the Mac 
hard drive, we have a folder called servername and a symbolic link 
inside called jobs that points to //servername/jobs/.  This seems to be 
what is allowing the Mac to continue working once we've edited the job 
to add //servername/ at the beginning of the perl command.

Any advice about this?  Why is the Mac not picking up jobs submitted 
from the pc?  And we haven't figured out how to get the Mac-submitted 
jobs to have the //servername/ at the beginning of the command.  It's 
there when we submit from the PC, but it's getting dropped or something 
when we submit from the Mac.

Thanks for any help!

	The submit scripts use the path they were invoked with
	to determine the path to invoke themselves with.

	So if you invoke the submit script with /jobs/rushscripts/submit-shake.pl
	on the Mac, then the script will submit itself to rush with that path,
	causing the PCs to fail because /jobs/rushscripts/.. is not a valid path.

	It sounds like what you want is to have the submit script
	fix paths that are specified as /jobs/xxx -> //servername/jobs/xxx

	To do this, edit the .common.pl file found on your file server
	in the same directory as the submit script, and add a line to the
	'FixPath()' function, ie:

sub FixPath($)
{
    my ($path) = @_;

    [..]

    $path =~ s%^/jobs%//servername/jobs%;		# ADD THIS LINE
    $path =~ s%/\./%/%g;
    return($path);
}

In the root of the Mac hard drive, we have a folder called servername and a symbolic link inside called jobs that points to //servername/jobs/. This seems to be what is allowing the Mac to continue working once we've edited the job to add //servername/ at the beginning of the perl command.

	That part sounds fine.

	I think what's happening is when you invoke the submit script,
	it's not getting the //servername/ part of the path as part
	of the invocation.

	The above modifications to the 'FixPath()' function will
	be applied to all paths in rush so that they are rewritten properly.
	(ie. the path to itself, scene file paths, log directory paths, etc)

Thanks, Greg.  That fixed things so the PCs pick up the Mac-submitted 
job and render fine.

We still can't get the Mac to pick up a job submitted by the PC.  Any 
ideas about that?  The Mac is online and picks up jobs submitted by the 
Mac.

	Need more info.

	When you see the job trying to run on a Mac, "Pause" the job,
	and look at the log for that frame.. is there an error?

	Also, what's showing up as path for the "Command:" in "Job Edit"?
	If the path looks wrong, that might be the problem.

	Paste the output of "Jobs Full", "Cpus" and "Frames" reports here
	for the job.

We never see the job trying to run on a Mac, if it's been submitted by 
the pc.  Also, it's just one Mac right now, which is also our server 
(forworkone).

Here are the reports: (i can't get the formatting right; let me know if 
you want me to email you a txt file)

forworkone shows up as Idle/Nak in the Cpus State.  I don't know what 
that means...

Hi Jance,

	I believe that's the problem in the "Cpus" report for the job:

CPUSPEC[HOST]          STATE       FRAME   PID     JOBTID  PRI   ELAPSED  JOBID          NOTES
+any=14@1[forworkone]  Idle/Nak    -       -       785     1     00:00:00 speedybeast.13 unknown uid 100
+any=14@1[forworkone]  Idle/Nak    -       -       786     1     00:00:00 speedybeast.13 unknown uid 100
                                                                                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

	From the FAQ:
	http://www.seriss.com/rush-current/rush/rush-admin-faq.html#ADMINFAQ-UNKNOWNUID

	Basically, I think you just need to make some user on the Macs to map the Windows
	submitted jobs to, ie. make a 'rush' user on the macs, and whatever uid/gid pair
	you use for that user, configure it in the global rush.conf file.

	When the dameons pick up this change to the rush.conf file (use 'rush -push rush.conf +any'
	to push the changes to the network), and submit new jobs, that should solve it.

	BTW, I'd be surprised if these errors weren't showing up in the rushd.log on the macs..
	weren't they?

That worked!  We already had a user, we just had to put the uid/gid in 
the rush.conf.

And sorry, we hadn't even looked at the rushd.log.  It looks like those 
errors were showing up, but we wouldn't have known what they meant.

Thanks so much.
