Starting Backburner Server
You must start the Backburner Server daemon on each Linux system for the
first time. Once it is started the first time, the daemon will start automatically.
To start Backburner Server:
1 Log in to your Linux system as root.
2 In a terminal, type:
service backburner_server start
3 You can verify that Backburner Server is properly configured by checking
the log file usr/discreet/backburner/Network/backburnerServer.log. Type:
tail -f
/usr/discreet/backburner/Network/backburnerServer.log
The file should contain lines similar to the following:
<INF>: Loading plugin: Lustre renderer plugin
4 To stop viewing the file, press Ctrl+C.
5 Repeat these steps to start Backburner Server on each node in the
background rendering network.
If you cannot start the Backburner Server, contact Autodesk Customer
Support.
NOTE If you need to stop or restart Backburner Server, use one of these commands:
/etc/init.d/backburner_server stop
/etc/init.d/backburner_server restart
