Submitting Shake Batches
Using Apple Qmaster, you can quickly create and submit a batch of Shake jobs.
Note: You can also submit Shake batches as described in Using Apple Qmaster to Submit
UNIX Commands, but the following method is the easiest way to submit Shake batches
with Apple Qmaster.
To submit Shake batches with Apple Qmaster
1 Open Apple Qmaster.
2 Enter a name for the batch in the “Batch name” field. (This is the name that appears in
Batch Monitor after you submit the batch.)
3 Do one of the following:
• Drag the Shake (.shk) file to the Batch table (the middle area of the Apple Qmaster
window).
• Choose Shake from the pop-up menu, then click the Add (+) button to add a job.
4 In the dialog that appears, do the following:
a In the Script field, enter the location of the Shake file if it isn’t already shown. (If you
dragged the file to the window, the file location is already there.)
Note: The Shake field shows the default location of Shake on your computer. If it is not
correct, be sure to update it.
b If you wish, edit the available values and settings to customize the command. For more
information, see About the Shake Plug-in Dialog.
