17 Configuring the Podcast Producer
Service
Use this chapter to learn how to control and manage Podcast
Capture and the Podcast Producer service.
Mac OS X Server v10.5 provides command-line tools for controlling a Podcast Producer
solution. These commands provide the same functionality available in Podcast Capture
and the Podcast Producer pane of Server Admin, and more.
For more information about Podcast Capture, see its online help. For more information
about Podcast Producer, see Podcast Producer Administration.
Controlling Podcast Capture
You can use the /usr/bin/podcast tool to control the client-side functionality of
Podcast Producer, which is represented by Podcast Capture.
For more information about podcast, see its man page.
Connecting to a Podcast Producer Server
If you run podcast on a client system remotely connected to a Podcast Producer server,
you must specify the server, username, and password when you use the podcast
command to send or receive information from the Podcast Producer server.
For example, to submit a job, you enter:
$ podcast --server pcast.example.com --user annej --pass password
--submit --file file_path --workflow workflow_name
Note: In the following sections, the server, username, and password information is
omitted. However, when using podcast to interact with the Podcast Producer server,
provide this information.
