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” on page 15, 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
the 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 Command from the pop-up menu, then click the Add (+) button to
add a job.
4 In the dialog that appears:
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 want to, edit the available values and settings to customize the command.
 See the Shake documentation for more information about the Shake settings in
this dialog. Each setting corresponds to a commonly used Shake command, with
the exception of the Minimum setting, which is described below. The Monitor
pop-up menu is also described below.
With the exception of the Minimum
setting, each setting in the dialog
corresponds to a commonly used Shake
command or option. Refer to the Shake
documentation for more information.
