[Paraview] pvserver dies after client closes. How to prevent that?

[Mirko Vukovic]

Thank you for clarifying this.

I reconfigured the connect command to manual with the command "ssh
username at machinename \\"/usr/local/bin/pvserver -sp=60600\\"

I had to re-configure ssh to accept password-less logins.  I also had
to create a passwordless public key using ssh-keygen.

Works like charm :-)
