@ssh (82-117) 
i need you to create a batch that:
1. ssh nexus
2. cd to /mnt/PHOENIX/flamenco/software/Flamenco
3. run the flamenco manager (linux executable)

Creating a batch file to SSH to nexus, change to the Flamenco directory, and run the manager. Checking existing batch files for style:

Creating a batch file to SSH to nexus and run the Flamenco manager:

</details>

</tool-use>

Created `nexus_flamenco_manager.bat`. It:

1. Connects to nexus via SSH
2. Changes to `/mnt/PHOENIX/flamenco/software/Flamenco`
3. Runs `./flamenco-manager`

The batch file uses a single SSH command that chains the directory change and execution. Double-click the batch file to run it, or run it from the command line.

@unified_flamenco_launcher.ps1:59-68 currently, we have A, F, N, and P drives mapped. Can we also map \\NEXUS\glacier to G:\ ?

---

_**Agent (model default, mode Agent)**_


Reviewing the script to see how drive mappings are handled:


---

<tool-use data-tool-type="read" data-tool-name="read_file_v2">
<details><summary>Tool use: **read_file_v2** • Read file: c:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco\unified_flamenco_launcher.ps1</summary>

</details>
</tool-use>

---


Adding the G: drive mapping for `\\NEXUS\glacier` in all three remote command functions. Updating each:


---

<tool-use data-tool-type="write" data-tool-name="edit_file_v2">

<details><summary>Tool use: **edit_file_v2** • Edit file: c:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco\unified_flamenco_launcher.ps1</summary>

</details>

</tool-use>

---

<tool-use data-tool-type="write" data-tool-name="edit_file_v2">

<details><summary>Tool use: **edit_file_v2** • Edit file: c:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco\unified_flamenco_launcher.ps1</summary>

</details>

</tool-use>

---


Updated the script to map `\\NEXUS\glacier` to `G:\`. Changes:

1. Added `'G:'` to the `$drives` array in all three remote command functions
2. Added `'\\NEXUS\glacier'` to the `$networkPaths` array in all three functions
3. Added the mapping command `net use G: \\NEXUS\glacier /persistent:yes` after the NEXUS connection is established

The G: drive will be:
- Disconnected during cleanup (along with A:, F:, N:, and P:)
- Mapped when connecting to NEXUS (along with A:, F:, and P:)

All three worker command functions (`Get-RemoteStandardWorkerCommand`, `Get-RemoteCmdWorkerCommand`, and `Get-RemoteSimplifiedCmdWorkerCommand`) now include the G: drive mapping.

_**User**_

good, but we also need to apply this to CMD workers, too.

---

_**Agent (model default, mode Agent)**_


Checking the current state of the CMD worker functions to ensure the G: drive mapping is applied:


---

<tool-use data-tool-type="read" data-tool-name="read_file_v2">
<details><summary>Tool use: **read_file_v2** • Read file: c:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco\unified_flamenco_launcher.ps1</summary>

</details>
</tool-use>

---


Checking the simplified CMD worker command function:


---

<tool-use data-tool-type="read" data-tool-name="read_file_v2">
<details><summary>Tool use: **read_file_v2** • Read file: c:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco\unified_flamenco_launcher.ps1</summary>

</details>
</tool-use>

---


Verifying the standard worker function for consistency:


---

<tool-use data-tool-type="read" data-tool-name="read_file_v2">
<details><summary>Tool use: **read_file_v2** • Read file: c:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco\unified_flamenco_launcher.ps1</summary>

</details>
</tool-use>

---


All three worker command functions already include the G: drive mapping:

1. **Standard Worker** (`Get-RemoteStandardWorkerCommand`) - line 94
2. **CMD Worker** (`Get-RemoteCmdWorkerCommand`) - line 159
3. **Simplified CMD Worker** (`Get-RemoteSimplifiedCmdWorkerCommand`) - line 230

All three also include:
- `'G:'` in the `$drives` array
- `'\\NEXUS\glacier'` in the `$networkPaths` array
- The mapping command `net use G: \\NEXUS\glacier /persistent:yes`

The changes were applied to all functions, including both CMD worker functions. If you see something missing, point me to the specific location and I’ll fix it.

G: is in the arrays, but it's not being deleted on those machines, likely because it's already mapped. Adding explicit G: deletion before mapping and improving error handling:

Added explicit deletion of G: and the `\\NEXUS\glacier` path right before mapping in all three worker command functions. This should resolve the "System error 85" (already in use) on echo and i9-13ks.

The script now:
1. Deletes G: explicitly before mapping (even if it's already mapped)
2. Deletes the `\\NEXUS\glacier` network path before mapping
3. Then maps G: to `\\NEXUS\glacier`

This ensures any existing G: mapping is cleared before creating the new one. The `2>$null` suppresses errors if G: isn't already mapped, so it works whether G: is mapped or not.

I think it's because there are local external usb devices mapped to G:\. I probably need to ask these users to remap or temporarily remove those drives

G: is mapped to a local USB device on those machines, so `net use G: /delete` won't work (it only deletes network drives). The mapping then fails because G: is already in use.

Options:
1. Use a different drive letter for glacier (if available)
2. Add error handling to make the G: mapping non-fatal so the worker continues even if it fails
3. Check if G: is a network drive before attempting deletion/mapping

Since you'll coordinate with those users, I can add error handling so the script continues if G: mapping fails. Should I add that, or do you prefer to resolve it with the users first?
