@ssh (82-117) i need you to create a batch that:

1. ssh nexus
2. cd to /mnt/PHOENIX/flamenco/software/Flamenco
3. run the flamenco manager (linux executable)

Agent (model default, mode Agent)

Creating a batch file to SSH to nexus, change to the Flamenco directory, and run the manager. Checking existing batch files for style:

---

Tool use: **read_file_v2** • Read file: c:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco\unified_flamenco_launcher.bat

---

Tool use: **read_file_v2** • Read file: c:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco\unified_sheepit_launcher.bat

Creating a batch file to SSH to nexus and run the Flamenco manager:

---

Tool use: **edit_file_v2** • Edit file: c:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco\nexus_flamenco_manager.bat

---

Created nexus_flamenco_manager.bat. It:

1. Connects to nexus via SSH
2. Changes to /mnt/PHOENIX/flamenco/software/Flamenco
3. Runs ./flamenco-manager

The batch file uses a single SSH command that chains the directory change and execution. Double-click the batch file to run it, or run it from the command line.

@unified_flamenco_launcher.ps1:59-68 currently, we have A, F, N, and P drives mapped. Can we also map \NEXUS\glacier to G:\ ?

---

Agent (model default, mode Agent)

Reviewing the script to see how drive mappings are handled:

---

Tool use: **read_file_v2** • Read file: c:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco\unified_flamenco_launcher.ps1

---

Adding the G: drive mapping for \\NEXUS\glacier in all three remote command functions. Updating each:

---

Tool use: **edit_file_v2** • Edit file: c:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco\unified_flamenco_launcher.ps1

---

Tool use: **edit_file_v2** • Edit file: c:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco\unified_flamenco_launcher.ps1

---

Updated the script to map \\NEXUS\glacier to G:\. Changes:

1. Added 'G:' to the $drives array in all three remote command functions
2. Added '\\NEXUS\glacier' to the $networkPaths array in all three functions
3. Added the mapping command net use G: \\NEXUS\glacier /persistent:yes after the NEXUS connection is established

The G: drive will be:

• Disconnected during cleanup (along with A:, F:, N:, and P:)
• Mapped when connecting to NEXUS (along with A:, F:, and P:)

All three worker command functions (Get-RemoteStandardWorkerCommand, Get-RemoteCmdWorkerCommand, and Get-RemoteSimplifiedCmdWorkerCommand) now include the G: drive mapping.

---

User

good, but we also need to apply this to CMD workers, too.

---

Agent (model default, mode Agent)

Checking the current state of the CMD worker functions to ensure the G: drive mapping is applied:

---

Tool use: **read_file_v2** • Read file: c:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco\unified_flamenco_launcher.ps1

---

Checking the simplified CMD worker command function:

---

Tool use: **read_file_v2** • Read file: c:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco\unified_flamenco_launcher.ps1

---

Verifying the standard worker function for consistency:

---

Tool use: **read_file_v2** • Read file: c:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco\unified_flamenco_launcher.ps1

---

All three worker command functions already include the G: drive mapping:

1. Standard Worker (Get-RemoteStandardWorkerCommand) - line 94
2. CMD Worker (Get-RemoteCmdWorkerCommand) - line 159
3. Simplified CMD Worker (Get-RemoteSimplifiedCmdWorkerCommand) - line 230

All three also include:

• 'G:' in the $drives array
• '\\NEXUS\glacier' in the $networkPaths array
• The mapping command net use G: \\NEXUS\glacier /persistent:yes

The changes were applied to all functions, including both CMD worker functions. If you see something missing, point me to the specific location and I’ll fix it.

G: isn't being deleted during cleanup, and the mapping fails with "System error 85" (already in use). Checking the script to ensure G: is included in the cleanup and mapping:

G: is in the arrays, but it's not being deleted on those machines, likely because it's already mapped. Adding explicit G: deletion before mapping and improving error handling:

---

Tool use: **read_file_v2** • Read file: c:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco\unified_flamenco_launcher.ps1

---

Adding explicit G: deletion before mapping in all three functions to handle cases where G: is already mapped:

---

Tool use: **edit_file_v2** • Edit file: c:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco\unified_flamenco_launcher.ps1

---

Added explicit deletion of G: and the \\NEXUS\glacier path right before mapping in all three worker command functions. This should resolve the "System error 85" (already in use) on echo and i9-13ks.

The script now:

1. Deletes G: explicitly before mapping (even if it's already mapped)
2. Deletes the \\NEXUS\glacier network path before mapping
3. Then maps G: to \\NEXUS\glacier

This ensures any existing G: mapping is cleared before creating the new one. The 2>$null suppresses errors if G: isn't already mapped, so it works whether G: is mapped or not.

I think it's because there are local external usb devices mapped to G:. I probably need to ask these users to remap or temporarily remove those drives

Agent (model default, mode Agent)

G: is mapped to a local USB device on those machines, so net use G: /delete won't work (it only deletes network drives). The mapping then fails because G: is already in use.

Options:

1. Use a different drive letter for glacier (if available)
2. Add error handling to make the G: mapping non-fatal so the worker continues even if it fails
3. Check if G: is a network drive before attempting deletion/mapping

Since you'll coordinate with those users, I can add error handling so the script continues if G: mapping fails. Should I add that, or do you prefer to resolve it with the users first?
