I run 2 back ends, one with 2 tuner cards in it and one with no tuner cards primarily to offload the comm flagging and trans coding. I currently have my primary backed (which is also my front end, hence the reason to offload work) set to a max jobs of 0 so it doesn't actually do any post processing. I was thinking of writing a script that would either look at the tuner status and if they aren't recording toggle it to process jobs and if they are to change it back to 0. My question is this, does anyone know if toggling the jobs count to 0 will cause any current jobs to be killed or stopped, or will it finish off what it is doing but not do any more?
<br><br>Also, is it possible to set one back end end to only do comm flagging and another to do transcodeing<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Christopher Moewes-Bystrom<br><a href="http://www.moewes.com">www.moewes.com</a><br><a href="mailto:chris.moewes@gmail.com">
