[Paraview] paraview in client/server mode

[Joseph Insley]

Hello all,

My apologies if this question has been previously asked and answered. 
I did a brief search of the archive of the mailing list, but didn't find 
anything.

I have been able to successfully run ParaView in client/server mode, 
starting the server on a set of linux nodes, and connecting to it via a 
client running from a remote desktop machine.  In my experience, once a 
client connects to the server, the server will exit when the client 
disconnects.  My question is, is there any way to change this behavior?  
What I would like to be able to do is run ParaView as a service.  That is, 
start up ParaView in server mode, allow a client to connect to it.  When 
that client is done using the server for whatever computation/rendering it 
needs, allow the client to disconnect, but keep the server running.  I 
would then like to be able to connect to that same server from a different 
client, running on a different desktop.  The two client sessions would be 
completely independant of each other.  Is there currently a way to invoke 
this type of behavior in the server?

thanks for your help,
joe.
