+**Adjusting remote script and command options**
+
+I'm updating the remote script to skip downloading the jar if it already exists, adding a clear message when skipping, and fixing the GPU argument to use uppercase. I'll also switch the UI option to use a single dash with "text," add the `--log-stdout` flag for full output, and make sure the script handles these changes cleanly with proper escaping and indentation. This will keep the process efficient and user-friendly without losing update flexibility.

+ --disable-large-downloads : Disable download of larger projects
+
+ to preserve internet traffic
+
+ (default: false)

+ --headless : Mark your client manually as headless
+
+ to block Eevee projects (default:

+ --no-systray : Don't use SysTray (default: false)
+
+ --show-gpu : Print available GPU devices and exit
+
+ --verbose : Log DEBUG (default: true)
+

+
+ -cache-dir /tmp/cache : Cache/Working directory. Caution,
+
+ everything in it not related to the
+
+ render-farm will be removed
+
+ -compute-method CPU : CPU: only use cpu, GPU: only use gpu,
+
+ CPU_GPU: can use cpu and gpu (not at
+
+ the same time) if -gpu is not use it
+
+ will not use the gpu
+
+ -config VAL : Specify the configuration file
+
+ -cores 3 : Number of cores/threads to use for
+
+ the render. The minimum is two cores

+ unless your system only has one
+
+ (default: -1)
+
+ -extras VAL : Extras data push on the

+
+ between 2am-8.30am and 5pm-11pm you
+
+ should do -request-time
+
+ 2:00-8:30,17:00-23:00 Caution, it's
+
+ the requesting job time to get a
+
+ project, not the working time
+
+ -server URL : Render-farm server, default

+
+ IMPORTANT: This option and value must
+
+ be identical in ALL clients sharing
+
+ the directory.
+
+ -shutdown DATETIME or +N : Specify when the client will close
+
+ and the host computer will shut down
+
+ in a proper way. The time argument
+
+ can have two different formats: an
