Job Scripting

Job scripts can be assigned to jobs to automate certain tasks before a job starts rendering (Pre Job Script), after a job finishes rendering (Post Job Script), or before and after each individual job task renders (Pre and Post Task Scripts). After you create your scripts, you can assign them to your job by right-clicking on it in the Monitor and selecting Modify Properties. The script options can be found under the Advanced tab. Note that a full path to the script is required, so it is recommended that the script file be stored in a location that is accessible by all slaves.

These are functions that can only be called from Job Scripts. Their main purpose is to get information about the slave and its current job.
