About Networking test, i think it could be a good idea to exchange our IP adress and to connect each other.
The better way should be to create a fake user (like wormuxuser or whatever) that can launch the application on a local display with restricted rights. While the application is launched, we might have a crontab job that take a regular snapshot of the trunk and compile it. A script like that could do the job : $ cat compil_trunk.sh #!/bin/bash echo "Compiling Trunk version of wormux" WORMUX_HOME=/home/wormuxuser cd $WORMUX_HOME/tmp svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/wormux/trunk wormux cd $WORMUX_HOME ./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=$WORMUX_HOME/wormux make make install $ And another script to reload a version of the compiled version : $ cat relaunch.sh #!/bin/bash echo "Killing (in the name of) wormux" WORMUX_HOME=/home/wormuxuser kill -9 $(ps -ef | grep wormux | grep wormuxuser | awk '{ print $2 }') export DISPLAY=localhost:1.0 echo "Launching wormux" cd $WORMUX_HOME/wormux nohup ./wormux & $ If somebody is interested, i will give to him my IP adress plus an account. Also, give me a id_rsa.pub for ssh authentification. From a shell command, we'll be able to launch this kind of things : $ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/wormuxuser/relaunch.sh But I think about one things : it could be a good idea to launch with a command line a wormux party ... Nobody as worked on this kind of thing ? Hum ... maybe it could be better to use a vnc for the moment ...
