Author Topic: Start of day issue NEC 1200c and GDC SX-2000 server Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 05-10-2012 12:56 AM                     I assume GDC is run on linux, right? If yes, I think you could set up a cron job that tells it to reboot every day at a certain time. But you'd also want to ensure that nothing is being sent over the the network to it (like ingesting...) at that time. That said, I've never worked with GDC and am simply throwing this out there.  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 05-10-2012 05:22 AM                     I haven't got a lot of experience with GDC, but I failed to find a terminal after looking through the GUI for quite a while. "ping" opened one but I didn't try to keep it open. Is there a way to get a shell terminal with GDC?  |  IP: Logged Richard May Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1057 From: Floral Park, NY USA Registered: Aug 2004 posted 05-10-2012 06:15 AM                     If the projector is not on, a reboot won't help.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Note, this isn't just a GDC thing...it is an IMB thing. I wish the IMB people just added a power cable so the server STILL powers the IMB...problem solved. Then again, the IMB could send a message to the server...upon waking up send a reboot to the server. The IMB designers should consider that a bit more.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-10-2012 11:50 AM                        This thread ought to be copied and passed along to all those media types who keep writing that in digital cinema, all you have to do is push Play.  |  IP: Logged
