identical to resubmitting the job from the creative application, without the need for that application
to be running.
To delete a job:
1 On the Jobs tab, select the job of interest and choose Delete from the Action menu.
2 When prompted, click OK. The job is deleted from the system and removed from the Job list. Deleting
a job completely removes it from the job queue and Backburner system. It does not, however, destroy
source material or rendered results. Deleting cannot be undone. If you think you may need to run the
job again in the future, or examine job details, consider archiving it instead.
To set email notifications for a job:
1 On the Jobs tab, double-click the job of interest, or select a job and choose Settings from the Action
menu. The Job Details page appears.
2 Enter the information in the Email Notification area:
■ From: Return address used by the Backburner Manager when sending notification email.
■ To: Destination address.
■ Server: Server where the smtp mailer daemon is running. Leave this field blank to use the Backburner
Manager’s default setting.
■ Notification: Turns on/off notifications for the job.
■ Failure: Enable to be notified on job failure.
■ Progress Every nth Task: Enable for email notification when each nth task is completed.
■ Completion: Enable for email notification on job completion.
3 Save your changes.
Managing Render Nodes (Servers)
