[Paraview] ParaView3 client/server command-line options

[Thomas D. Uram]

Thanks for your response.

It works for me to create a minimal default_servers.pvsc file:

<Servers>
<Server name="hostname" resource="cs://hostname" owner="site">
</Server>
</Servers>

in the default location.  In my case, this is the same directory in 
which the paraview executable resides.

I can then run the paraview client on the command line as:

./paraview -s=hostname

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.
