Apologies for 'terse' - No time for detailed answer now, but here's one way to get started:

The path to load/save .iar can be specified - this allows for lots of options beyond the obvious - it is possible to both store local content and mount remote shares into designated local filesystem, for example: opt/opensim/bin/Library/folders See: http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Inventory_Archives This 'sort of' works for simple instances - I had trouble with path recursion but not had time to investigate in detail (see previous threads in this list) > This is not > a problem when the server and the client are on the same hardware (my > desktop), but when OpenSim is deployed on it's own hardware, am i going > to have to log in remotely to the server to run iar?

How would you do that if the server is already running, Yes to all of the above - using the 'screen' utility provides one solution - start your instance of opensim in a 'screen' session, login via ssh and access/attach logout/detach from that session as often as you like. Some info about 'screen': http://magazine.redhat.com/2007/09/27/a-guide-to-gnu-screen/ This example RH style sysv init script might give you some ideas: #!/bin/bash # # Provides an OTT sys.v init script # with multiple 'screen' sessions opensim # # opensim # # chkconfig: - 51 50 # description: OpenSim diva distro # processname: opensim # Source function library. . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions # Get config. . /etc/sysconfig/network # Check that networking is up. if [ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] then exit 0 fi # See how we were called. case "$2" in realxtend) echo "Distro ${2}..."
