Host exclude mask, synthax?

Post by corella »

It would seem that the host exclude mask only works for me when there is only one hostname in there.
How would I add multiple hosts to that mask? What do I have to use as separator? I've tried space, comma, semicolon.

Thank you. But can you please give me an example?

I can not create a pattern out of machine names like fred, susie and albert.
When I enter

fred susie albert

In the host exclude mask it doesn't seem to work. But that is the patter Houdini uses for example.

Hi!
There are lots of documentation, examples and online constructors of a regular expressions in internet.
For fred, susie and albert mask will be fred|susie|albert.
But it this is not a good naming for a render farm machines.
Machines in farm commonly named like: rli01, rli02 ..., or lls01, lls01 ...,
which corresponds for a Remote Linux Image ## and Local Linux Simulation, it means some remotely located machines on with Linux OS to render images and local machines for dynamic simulations.
In this case regular expressions will be more flexible and handy.
