Subject: adding windows hosts to my mac/linux nuke farm
   Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2011 09:15:48 -0500

Hi there!

I have a mixed Mac and Linux farm here which renders Shake and
especially Nuke. On some other machines we are running Windows with
3DS Max. These machines aren't rendering all the time. So my idea was
to install Rush and Nuke on them and add them to my Nuke farm.

I tried it on one machine, installed Rush, Nuke, Perl, etc. Nuke and
Rush are working fine. And I already added the Filepath fix to Nuke
(as mentioned in the Nuke user guide), so I can directly open existing
scripts from my Linux/Macs workstations and they will work out of the
box without searching and replacing the file path to change something
like /mnt/server1/project/... to X:\\project\...

So Nuke seems to work fine. Problem is: how/where do I tell the rush
daemon/submit script on my windows machine to also change the file
path, so it can save the log files etc. at the right location? At the
moment, the windows machine tries to save the logs to /mnt/server1/
project/etc. instead of using X\:\... What's the correct way of doing
that?

Thanks for any help,

Abraham
