To turn off processing services
1 In the Apple Qmaster pane in System Preferences, click Stop Sharing.
2 In the dialog that appears, enter the number of minutes you want processing services
to continue before shutting down, then click OK.
The default is 10 minutes, but you can turn off the service immediately by entering 0 in
the field. If you enter any number greater than 0, a countdown appears next to the
Cancel button. The shutdown delay is provided because some computers may be in the
middle of processing batches, and these could be damaged by a premature shutdown.
3 In the Services section, do one of the following:
 Deselect the On checkbox for Compressor Processing (to turn off Compressor services).
 Deselect the On checkbox for Rendering (to turn off Apple Qmaster services).
Turning Cluster Controller Services On or Off
Use the Services pane in the Apple Qmaster pane in System Preferences to turn the
cluster controller on or off on a specific computer.
To turn on cluster controller services:
1 Open the Apple Qmaster pane in System Preferences.
2 Optionally, you can configure a number of settings before you turn on the processing
services. (See “
Options in the Apple Qmaster Pane in System Preferences ” on page 42.)
Note: It’s easiest to do this now because you can’t make these settings when
processing services are enabled. To make these settings after services have been
enabled, you need to turn off the services, make the settings, and then turn the
services on again.
3 In the “Share this computer as” section, select one of the following buttons:
 “QuickCluster with services”
Choose this option to create an “instant” cluster with unmanaged services.
 “Services and cluster controller”
Choose this option to build a cluster in Apple Qadministrator. (See “ Creating Clusters
With Apple Qadministrator ” on page 48 for more information.)
Also see “ Managed Vs. Unmanaged Services ” on page 43 for more information.
