SFWHA 6.0 - cluster some x-app
Updated: 22 Feb 2012 | 4 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
I have been able in the past to cluster xeyes and xclock as part of a demo.
I would like to do the same on a Windows cluster but don't know how to make it run on the console.
I can see xeyes running in Task Manager but nothing appears on the console...
Any ideas, anyone?

Need an X Windows Server emulator
X Windows apps (typically in UNIX environments) can only be displayed on systems where an X Windows Server is running. If you have xeyes and xclock available on a Windows system, then you probably have some installation of UNIX tools on the Windows system. Cygwin/X, Xming, and others can provide an X Windows Server to run on a Windows system, which will allow for displaying of X Windows apps.
Hi Marianne, Our training
Hi Marianne,
Our training department is having a similar issue with the wineye.exe program that they use. I'm not sure if they have come up with another test app yet or not.
Here is what I did with a process agent and notepad.exe.
group test (
SystemList = { SERVER1 = 0, SERVER2 = 1 }
)
Process Notepad_Process (
Critical = 0
StartProgram = "notepad.exe"
InteractWithDesktop = 1
)
// resource dependency tree
//
// group test
// {
// Process Notepad_Process
// }
With Windows 2008 R2, I get a message on the console to display the interact with desktop process. This is a little different than it was in earlier versions of Windows but it seems to still work.
Thanks,
Wally
Thanks for suggestions
Thanks for suggestions gents!
The X Server seems to be my problem - I just have the one xeyes.exe binary that I downloaded from 'somewhere'.
Wally's Notepad seems to be the quick solution right now. (File server or FileOnOff in a demo is s-o-o-o boring!)
Will give xeyes another try some other time and also follow up with my contact in Education whe he is back from holiday.
