[Paraview] Automatic reverse connection from cluster to desktop/laptop

[Biddiscombe, John A.]

I recently made some simple scripts which build on the nifty server management XML found on the wiki and allow you to launch jobs remotely, and have them connect back to you - from within the paraview GUI.

Explanation is here

Enjoy

If you make improvements (find ip etc) then please let me know. One thing I'd like to do, is all the above, but also have port forwarding, so you can launch the client locally, but have the compute nodes communicate via a service node and forward stuff back to you. I'm sure it can be done, but since port forwarding is disabled on our cray, I've not tried setting it up.
