Screamernet Job and Ack commands?

[JohnKocon]

Is there a list (or does anyone know) what commands Screamernet sends between the controller & nodes? I would like to be able to shut down an individual node without disrupting the rest of the farm- is this possible by writing commands to the Job or Ack files with a text editor??

Yes. The simplest way is to use 'echo' in the commandline to send the relevant command to that node's job file. The node will respond. To shutdown the node, echo quit to the node's job file :

echo quit > \\path\to\job

That will terminate the local ScreamerNet process on the node.
