edit core assignment from master?

[andy.engelkemier]

It seems the only way to change how many cores are available to render, or which machines are available, is to do that from the actual machine.

Is that correct?

It would be a bit more convenient to change it from master.
I mean, a workaround would be to use the scheduler to turn machines on/off.

WHY? We have 64 cores. But we have more than 64 cores available. So I'd like the fastest of those to be available, when we have them. If I'm not at my desk, I'll include my machine. But if I am, I'll pull up one of the slower ones. But if you don't have the slower machine disabled, then it adds that machine anyway, even if faster machines are available.
