Hey Justin:
Thanks a lot for taking the time to write that code. It needed an
extra set of (double) quotes to be accepted as a command:
cmd = '''...'''
HOWEVER, it turned out that the problem was not the syntax of
submitting the command, but the formatting of the tasklist. It is a 3
column
Thanks for the reply. I'm not a hardcore coder, could you give me an
example of calling the proc from the prerender flag?
Also, it was my assumption that 'numTasks' would tell Backburner to
divide the whole job into X tasks, but that does not appear to be the
case - it appears that my 'os'
Unfortunately I dont have any experience with Backburner submissions, since I
have never used it in a pipeline other than submitting to it from a gui.
Here is an example of a preRender script:
In file /network/path/to/myPreRender.mel:
global proc doStuff()
{
// all your preRender Stuff
Thanks again for your help. For now I'm rendering from the GUI.
I did try NOT escaping the frame ranges, resulting in the same error.
You are correct that BB is not properly slotting the ranges. I got
the '%tp2' syntax from the Maya BB command. It is telling BB to get
the param from the
Also, I did try surrounding my os cmd with quotes and escaped quotes.
It doesn't like unescaped quotes at all.
With escaped quotes, It sees the 2nd escaped quote as an attempt to
create a line continuation.
However, that may be all that's needed to get this working at this
point:
os.system (\ '
BTW, what do I do to prevent the short word wrapping that occurs in my
posts?
Thx.

Try taking a look at this method of formatting your command. Its a lot easier
to handle all the quoting without escaping, and see exactly what command you
are defining:

Maybe this method might actually address your issue?
