I would tend to guess your box is acting as the submit server? Meaning your machine is controlling your job. I would recommend setting up a couple submit servers that never reboot and are up all the time. You submit your job to eb rendered to these servers, so if your boxes crashes.. rebooted.. whatever you are not affected. To me this is the typical setup for a render farm....
or maybe I am miss reading the e-mail

We have dual boot win/linux boxes here. Since we work primarily in windows, we do not have rush.d running on the linux side, and I don't think it would even help in this case.

When we submit a job on the windows side, then boot into linux, the frames that are already rendering continue to do so, but the rest of the job is basically paused until that workstations rush.d is started again. This means if that machine crashed in the night, no render in the morning, etc. There has got to be a way around this.

Thanks!
