<p dir="ltr">The usual solution is to use reverse connections. Here the qsub script tells the server what ip address and port number to connect back to. If the waiting client isn't running on the login node, set up an ssh tunnel back to the user's machine.</p>

Hi folks,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We regularly start a pvserver on one of our cluster nodes and then connect to it from a PV client. However, in each instance it is necessary to specify the server address manually, as the server address naturally changes depending on which node
 the cluster job is located. Is there a way to also make the server address (as opposed to just e.g. the port number) configurable, similar to Use Case Two at <a href="http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:Server_Configuration" target="_blank">http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:Server_Configuration</a>?
 Right now I have a static configuration where I always manually change the host name before connecting, which is somewhat cumbersome.</div>
