[UniMacTech] Compressor render farm network mounts

[Peter Thomas]

Dear All,

I too am setting up a render farm.

I would like to use my computer labs at night as a render node and I am
trying to automate as much as possible including not having to visit the
render farm.

My understanding is that the computers being used in the render node have to
have the render source files mounted and I also want to mount the render
destination as well, (another network share).

My challenge is that my labs are used by students with network mounts  who
when they  leave them log out which unmounts any network shares. So how do I
make the render farm shares mount on these computers.

I can probably write a log out script so that when a user logs out the
render farm network shares  automatically mount but was wondering if anyone
else has already got a solution for this. Running OD Master with bound
