Hi, One way around this problem is to have a version of AGTK 2.3 running on the node that you want to use the shared apps on. This could be set up to not have any services configured (i.e. remove the AudioService and the VideoConsumer/Producer services). This AGTk can then be used to launch the shared applications.
This would be a work-around as it wouldn't let you actually start the shared apps on the Control Machine and have them run on the display machine. Instead, they would have to be started on the display machine independently. If you need to actually run the display machine remotely, you could always use VNC to connect to it. Hope this helps, Andrew G D Rowley :) ============================================ Access Grid Support Centre, SVE Group, Manchester Computing, Kilburn Building, University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PL, UK Tel: +44(0)161-275 0615 Email: andrew.row...@man.ac.uk -----Original Message----- From: owner-ag-t...@mcs.anl.gov [mailto:owner-ag-t...@mcs.anl.gov] On Behalf Of Markus Buchhorn Sent: 22 September 2004 05:07 To: ag-t...@mcs.anl.gov Subject: [AG-TECH] SharedApp on non-venue-client machine? Hi All I'm looking at better ways of managing our (multi-machine) nodes. One of the things I want to do is have the operation be remote to the node, by having the venue-client running on (for example) the control machine. (I'd really like to have multiple venue clients (or just one?) on a single machine, operating multiple separate AG nodes across our campuses, but that's a little way off yet). The one thing that gets in the way seems to be that SharedApps (browser, presentations, etc.) appear on the same machine as the venue client. This seems to tie the SharedApps, the venue client and the display machine together. That seems to be against the architecture of distributed node-services and service managers. So, I'm probably doing something wrong :-) Is there a way of configuring a node so that the sharedapps appear on the display machine (say), rather than the venue-client machine? Thanks!
