Exiting Job Processor ///Tip

[aurelien_berthelot]

Hello

A simple tip in order to stop JobProcessor.
Execute the following command:

TASKKILL /IM JobProcessor.exe /F

Put this command line in a *.bat file and schedule its execution via Task Scheduler.

Useful especially when you have setup a "batch machine" and you don't want to have jobprocessor continuously running in background sucking a license token.

Only issue, i see till today: kill Job Processor like this, can produce an error if it effectively  converts a file when the kill-script is executed.

This tip will be obsolete when Autodesk will provide finally a command line option to stop Job Processor in a clean way 

Regards,

Aurélien

Hello

First, thank you for this command line options, which are actually not optional 😉

In which version of jobprocessor, these command are implemented ?

The Pause, Resume and Stop command line options were added for the Vault 2013 release.

hi Doug,

  thanks for your reply.

would your team be able to consider making the 3 new commands also available for version 2012?

i know it is a hassle but i have clients on different versions. considering this command line functionality is necessary for this job prcessor to work after hours i think it is really worth asking the question.

many thanks!
