Hi,<br><br>I have built ParaView 2.4.4 enabling mpi and offscreen rendering to be<br>used on some of our servers. I am seeing some an anomoly in the command<br>line of the resulting processes when I do a ps.<br><br>I initially start pvclient -rc. I then runn pvserver with the following
<br>command line:<br> mpirun -np 2 /home/galbja/paraview-2.4.4-bin/bin/pvserver -rc<br>--use-offscreen-rendering<br><br>Everything connects and the GUI comes up. But when I do a ps on the<br>server, here is what I see (cleaned out a bit so it is readable):
