The Backburner Monitor enforces a simple queue control mechanism to avoid conflicting requests from different users of the Backburner Windows Monitor. The first monitor establishing a connection to the manager is automatically granted queue control, and can perform all job-related activities, including stopping, restarting, or deleting jobs. Subsequently, other monitors connect in read-only mode, allowing them to observe the activity on the Backburner network only.
A Client List dialog appears, showing the status of all users connected to the manager via the Backburner Windows Monitor.
The Status column indicates the user with control of the queue.
The manager transmits the request to the user currently with queue control. A message similar to the following appears on the remote machine.
