Allow the test script to dynamically modify the exe args.

Any chance of modifying the number of resources consumed in the test script as well?

What would be the use case for that? Either way, it's not possible because by the time the test script is launched, the server's already calculated the resource requirements to ensure that it can launch the task to the assigned client. But I'd still like to know why/how you'd use this feature, if it were possible. :)

Makes sense about allocation having already taken place.

My use case would be to combine 3 comskip tasks into 1. I currently have 1 task for mpeg comskipping that uses 33 resources, 1 for h.264 comskipping that uses 67 resources, and a 3rd comskip for a special needs channel (different comskip.ini). Special needs channels could be combined with their respective mpeg or h.264 comskip task to limit it to 2 tasks, I just haven't seen to that yet. Currently I have all 3 tasks assigned to new recordings so whichever is appropriate will be used and the others will fail in the testing process. If re-allocation of resources was possible all of these could be combined into a single comskip task that calls comskip with the appropriate ini file and sets the resources as required.

Hmm... I like that idea, could even use it myself (for basically the same reason). Allow the client to tweak its resource usage at runtime - it's a bit of work, but not impossible. Basically, you'd always start with assigning the lowest value to the task and then increase it at runtime as necessary. When the task is completed the resources are reset. I like it! Can you open a new ticket for this, please?

Fix verified.
