Organization: Auckland University Date: Mon, 10 Mar 1997 19:39:48 +1200 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-ID: <3323BAC4.187@cs.auckland.ac.nz> Hi, I read the man page for pvm and read several tutorial articles. But could not find a good way of automating pvm jobs. It seems that the only way to tear down the virtual machine cleanly is typing 'halt' at the console. I wanted to set up the jobs to run at night when the machines are not used by people in the offices in our company and shut down pvm at 6:00am before anybody comes. Is there a to configure the pvm so it can cleanly halt itself at some specific time? Thanks for the help --------------------------------------- email: gliu@genesis.co.nz
