HP SVA V2.0 Visualization System Software Reference Guide

svaRunRenderXServers(3)
NAME
svaRunRenderXServers -- Starts X Servers on the job's allocated render hosts.
Synopsis
svaRunRenderXServers [ -nowait ]
Parameters
-nowait
Runs the X Servers in the background on the render hosts. Does not wait for the
command to complete before returning.
Returns
None.
Description
Runs an X Server on all render hosts allocated to the job. 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_RENDER_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
