Hi Greg
Having it all as a single job would be the way to go if possible.
Currently the only way we have managed to get the ribs and render is using
Alfred (we generally use renderman for Maya so the pro server pipeline is
new to us).
We will try to work out the commands and let you know.

Hi Dylan,
The submit-maya script has 'renderman(rman)' as one of
the options at the "Renderer:" prompt, which will cause
maya to load the maya scene, and render it with the renderman
plugin.
If you want it to generate ribs on one host, then render it
on a separate host, that can probably be tied into a single
job/script; show me ribgen and render commands you're currently
using in the two-job process, and I can tell you how it can
be managed as a single job.
