I am running my simulations (written in R and using GRASS) for testing and debugging purposes on a laptop, and if they are working, I send them, for final simulation to a hpc cluster. The reason why I would like to have an external viewer is to simply "look into the simulation" while I am debugging, and not having to change anything when I send it to the cluster. OK - a debug option is included, but I am reluctant to put the viewer into the simulation. Effectively, I was thinking about e.g. a GRASS instance which is displaying the layer "aliens" in the workspace ASM and automatically updates when the layer is updated from the simulation. So I could even look into a simulation running on the cluster, without having to interfere with the simulation. > see also grass7 addons d.mon script (not the new fancy one in > trunk) for `qiv` autoupdate when the composited display file > changes. > I will - thanks.
