Thanks for your response.<br>
<br>
It works for me to create a minimal default_servers.pvsc file:<br>
<br>
<Servers><br>
<Server name="hostname" resource="cs://hostname" owner="site"><br>
</Server><br>
</Servers><br>
<br>
in the default location. In my case, this is the same directory in
which the paraview executable resides.<br>
<br>
I can then run the paraview client on the command line as:<br>
<br>
./paraview -s=hostname<br>
<br>
Has there been discussion of adding back in support for a simple
command-line option to specify a server resource, for cases in which a
richer, XML-based description is not needed? I'm just curious, and
would like to avoid having to write into a user's default_servers.pvsc
file to get them connected.<br>

Unfortunately, PVSC options aren't saved across runs, so you'll need to
manually enter your changes into the default PVSC file in the lib
directory.<br clear="all">

In ParaView 2, one could launch the ParaView client against a remote<br>
server with a command line like:<br>
<br>
./pvclient --server-host=remotehost<br>
<br>
I'm trying to do the same with ParaView3, which appears to have a
<br>
differently-named client executable with a different set of command-line<br>
options, using:<br>
<br>
./paraview --server=cs://remotehost<br>
<br>
which fails with:<br>
<br>
Could not connect to requested server " cs://remotehost ". Creating
<br>
default builtin connection<br>
<br>
Based on what I've been able to determine from the wiki, specifying a<br>
'server resource' in this way should work, but it does not.<br>
<br>
I can connect to remote servers from within the UI.
<br>
<br>
Should I be able to specify a remote server on the command-line in this<br>
way in PV3? Is there a different way to achieve what I'm after?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
<br>
