But i have not test it. I am busy with a new 2.4 release that will be very huge.

CGRU 2.3.1 has Blender 2.79 plugin.

Better to use $HIP variable, or (and even better) your custom, that you control manually.

ps
We are not using $JOB variable at all, it seems that $JOB behavior is differ on Linux&Windows.

Hi.

Who and when "creates windows drive/folder structure"?

You can change task command to:

It depends on your needs.

You want to create some job, that will run some command on each machine only once, than node should be shutdown?

You want to ask render some node (from GUI or API) to shutdown after the current running task will be finished?

Hi!

There is no such feature "out-of-the-box".
Afanasy can't automatically shut down render node after a job or a task completes.

Hi!
There is no API for this.

You can do it yourself. If you have 10 tasks, and each needs an hour to render. 10 machines will render all in an hour. Or 5 machines in 2 hours. And if you have 20 machines, they render all in an hour too, or you should split tasks to have 20 x 0.5 hour tasks.

Hi.
Render manager does not save any images (any files). It just run commands (your software).
You should configure images sequence naming in your software.

Hi.
afrende node should be in "Sleeping" state to be wake able.
