Sure. :) It is definitely not documented good enough. :( > > > Node 1: spock.scs.fsu.edu > Node 2: kirk.scs.fsu.edu > I can ssh from one to the other with no password. > The Equalizer server is on Spock. > I wish to run eqPly.64 > I'd like the server to startup the client(s) and applications. > If I cannot do that, it is not clear to me how all this is > supposed to work. A detailed explanation would really help! The render client command is not part of the configuration file, since this is application specific. The command specified in the config file is the command used to launch something remotely, e.g., ssh. Un Unix systems you typically do not change it, since ssh is common. The render client is determined as follows: By default it is argv[0], as passed to eq::init. This sets the global program name, which is used as the default value for the ConfigParam's render client. The application can override the render client before calling Server::chooseConfig. The render client will be launched using the launch command on the remote node. If you have installed it in the same path on all systems, e.g., by using a shared file system, it should work without any modifications. The server prints the full command line he executes when started with the EQ_LOG_LEVEL set to INFO. > > > I ran on spock: > > cd .../examples/config > eqServer.64 2-node.DB_spock_kirk.eqc > > and got > > 24328 46912502169760 ./server/parser.cpp:3124 Parse error: 'syntax > error', line 13 at 'command' > 24328 46912502169760 ./server/server.cpp:57 No configurations loaded > 24328 46912502169760 ./server/eqServer.cpp:45 Server did not run > correctly, please consult log > > > QUESTION: where is the log file? (I am on a linux system) Depends on your launch command. The default is 'ssh -n %h %c >& %h. %n.log', hence the config file will be in the home directory on the remote node, under <hostname>.<unique id>.log. %h - hostname as specified in the connection description %c - render client command (see above) %n - unique node identifier (uuid) HTH, Stefan. _______________________________________________ eq-dev mailing list [email protected] https://in-zueri.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/eq-dev http://www.equalizergraphics.com
