HP SVA V2.0 Visualization System Software Reference Guide

svaRunDisplayXServers(3)
NAME
svaRunDisplayXServers -- Starts X servers on the job's allocated display hosts.
Synopsis
svaRunDisplayXServers [ -nowait ]
Parameters
-nowait
Runs the X Servers in the background on the display hosts; does not wait for the X
Servers to complete before returning.
Returns
None.
Description
Runs an X Server on all display hosts allocated to the job. It waits for the command to complete
before returning, unless the -nowait option is specified.
After the X Server starts, turns off power management and any screen savers that can interfere
with the visualization aspects of the job.
If –nowait is specified, it sets SVA_DISPLAY_XSERVER_JOBSTEP to the job step for the X
Servers. This makes it possible to wait for them using svaWaitForJobStepToFinish. If the
data configuration tag SVA_USE_REMOTE3D is defined to be non-zero, gdm is used. The user
must log in before the job acts on the X Server.
Make sure the job launch script sources the svainit file before this function is called:
. svainit
