Render Schedule

My wish is a render schedule for studio, for a single machine, that I could set for example 6 renders up on, all in high priority, and have them run one at a time until they reach a desired sl.

Great idea.
I would aso like a small "mxs checker" built in.
Like when rendering a batch of scenes you just throw them into a container and it would spit out the files that are somehow corrupt or not renderable with a detailed log file letting you know what the problem is.
Sometimes I setup a few scenes that render perfectly on my workstation, send them to the renderfarm with pack & go. The next morning I come into work and see only a few scenes rendered out while the other ones failed due to some kind of error.
This week for example I had an error teling me one of my png textures had invalid data or something, eventhough I rendered it 10 times before...
I don't always have the time to check every scene on the farm first.

You can do that with network render even if you only have one machine.
