    Watchdog Client :: Command Line Submission:

    Watchdog supports the submission of jobs from a command line to allow for scriptability of render launches. This opens up Watchdog to launch jobs from within other applications using script based tools (i.e. MEL). Additionally if a sequence of identical renders needs to be repeated, a .bat file can be created to repeatedly launch multiple renders.
