Monitor Slave Render Status in Maya?

[jayroth]

Aside from running something like MSI Afterburner on each slave machine, is there a way to tell if they are actually doing anything? I have allocated two slave machines in the Network Rendering panel, but the slaves only seem to work with IPR, not batch. I have searched this forum on the topic and found a few threads, but nothing in those threads seems to offer any help in this regard, other than to make sure that the Standalone and Plug In version numbers match (which they do.)

Any help would be appreciated!
