OK, reasonably seriously – when you first start a slave, it writes a file out
to the server telling the system that it is available. It then constantly
checks to see if there is anything to do.
In your 3DSNET.SET file there are a number of settings for what is going on
between the slaves and the server. How often it happens is governed by those
settings. Here are the relevant settings:
;—————————————————– ; NET COMMUNICATIONS
SETTINGS ;Sets time interval in minutes between "squawks". Each ; machine
"squawks" periodically to notify network of ; its status. Range is 1-10.
NET-SQUAWK = 1 ; ;Sets time interval in seconds between inquiries from this ;
system to others on the network. Range is 1-100. NET-POLL-TIME = 3 ; ;Sets the
time interval in minutes that a machine is allowed ; to sit without squawking
before it's treated as having ; crashed. Range is 1-60. NET-TIMEOUT = 4
;—————————————————–
Was that serious and complete enough? :^)
