Hi all, I noticed an interesting possibility with our pipe-based plug-in mechanism for remote execution of computer algebra sessions. First configure your ssh so that you can login on the remote machine without being prompted for a password (for instance, but using RSA identification). After that, simply modify the line for launching the plug-in to use ssh instead. For instance, in the case of Pari-GP, this yields
(:launch "ssh -o BatchMode=true [EMAIL PROTECTED] gp --texmacs") instead of (:launch "gp --texmacs") (question: should we also set the escape character to none?) You may also have to set (:require #t) instead of (:require (url-exists-in-path? "gp")) if gp is not available at your local system. The next thing I am wondering about is whether we should automatically support this mechanism inside TeXamcs. Of course, this raises a few questions: 1) What kind of interface would we like? 2) How to determine (efficiently) whether a given plug-in works in this more general setting? 3) Would we also like to be able to execute remote plug-ins? I.e.: someone writes a TeXmacs plug-in which works correctly on some machine. Now we would like to remotedly test this plug-in from another machine which runs TeXmacs. What do you think? --Joris _______________________________________________ Texmacs-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/texmacs-dev
