The Apple Qmaster Interface
The Apple Qmaster application described in this document is one part of the larger
distributed processing system described above. The Apple Qmaster application is the
client software you use to submit jobs and batches to the system. Both this application
and the larger system are known by the same name (Apple Qmaster).
The Apple Qmaster window contains a toolbar; a Batch Name field; a Submit To field;
the Batch table; buttons to add, remove, and submit jobs (dimmed until at least one
job is in the Batch table); and pop-up menus to choose job types and batch priority.

 Notification: Opens a sheet where you can set (or reset) an email address to which
the status of a Batch completion or failure can be sent. Apple Qmaster does not
