<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hi Mark,<br>
<br>
Yes to both. The way this could work on a simple cluster is: from the user's system which is assumed to be remote, the pvsc creates an ssh tunnel inside the xterm and calls the launch script on the compute system login node. the launch script submits the batch
job. pvserver, when run in the batch script, connects back to the ssh tunnel on the login node. "client host" is the login node host name. "server port" is specified by the user in the pvsc.<br>
<br>
There's a slight complication with some Cray systems that means we need to involve a special node called the "mom" node in the tunnel.<br>
<br>
This will be clear if you see a complete example, for instance the following 3 scripts are used with NERSC's Cray Edison:<a href="https://github.com/burlen/pvserver-configs/blob/master/pvsc/edison-unix.pvsc"> pvsc</a>,
<a href="https://github.com/burlen/pvserver-configs/blob/master/servers/edison/4.3.1/start_pvserver.sh">
launch script</a>, <a href="https://github.com/burlen/pvserver-configs/blob/master/servers/edison/4.3.1/start_pvserver.qsub">
batch script</a>.<br>

This works without anything special if you launch in an xterm. We did this at NICS which requires both ssh authentication and rsa secure id token. Here is an
