I just recently installed the PVM version of POV-Ray, a
freeware raytracer and it works fine. When I start the 
PVM console I do it from my machine and then start up the 
other hosts on other machines. However these other machines
may be in use by other users and when I do a raytracing,
I don't want to bog their machine down while they are
one it.

Is there a way that the user on one of the machines that is
running the pvmd process can instruct the pvm console to 
NOT use their machine? Right not I ensure they are not on
but is there anything they can do short of killing the 
pvmd process manually to temporarily remove their machine
from the list of available hosts?

Thanks!
Bruce
