# Update worker batches to official jar (2025-09-16 00:06Z)

_**User (2025-09-16 00:04Z)**_

change all worker batches to use the official jar and not the temp build I was using, and remove the experimental -shadow-dir tag.

_**Assistant**_

I'll help you update all the worker batch files to use the official jar and remove the experimental `-shadow-dir` tag. Let me first examine the current worker batch files to understand their structure.

Now I can see the current structure of all three worker batch files. They're all using `sheepit-client-all.jar` (which appears to be the official jar) and have the `-shadow-dir` parameter that needs to be removed. Let me update all three files to remove the `-shadow-dir` parameter.

Perfect! I've successfully updated all three worker batch files (`worker0.bat`, `worker1.bat`, and `worker2.bat`) to remove the experimental `-shadow-dir` parameter. 

The files were already using the official `sheepit-client-all.jar`, so no changes were needed for that part. Each worker batch file now has a cleaner command line without the experimental shadow directory parameter:

- **worker0.bat**: Uses OPTIX_0 GPU with cache directory `E:\SheepIt\cache0`
- **worker1.bat**: Uses OPTIX_1 GPU with cache directory `E:\SheepIt\cache1` 
- **worker2.bat**: Uses OPTIX_2 GPU with cache directory `E:\SheepIt\cache2`

All files are now using the standard SheepIt client configuration without any experimental parameters.

good, but you didn't change the jar. check main dir.

---

_**Assistant**_

You're absolutely right! Let me check the main directory to see what jar files are available and identify the official one.

I see! There's `sheepit-autoupdate.jar` in the main directory, which appears to be the official jar file. The worker batch files are currently using `sheepit-client-all.jar` which must be the temp build you mentioned. Let me update all three worker files to use the official `sheepit-autoupdate.jar`.

Perfect! Now I've updated all three worker batch files to use the official `sheepit-autoupdate.jar` instead of the temp build `sheepit-client-all.jar`. 

All worker files now:
- Use the official `sheepit-autoupdate.jar` 
- Have the experimental `-shadow-dir` parameter removed
- Maintain their respective GPU assignments (OPTIX_0, OPTIX_1, OPTIX_2) and cache directories

The changes are complete!
