<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">We have running the OpenPBS cluster at Linux network for a
while for batch computer intensive jobs. I was asked to configure the cluster
in order to make possible submit interactive jobs which launch X-windows
application, i.e. running the GUI based application at one of the MOM machine
and see the graphic result on the machine where the job was submitted. This
approach would better balance the GUI applications load over the network.</span></font></p>

<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I did several trials with interactive job "qsub –I"
but I did not get into the state when the X was forwarded to the client where
the job was submitted. I usually get the "Can't open display"
error message from the application. I tried to set the DISPLAY env. variable to
the submitting node, set the xhost +, etc. but no result. I'm not an
expert of X-windows system at all. Since I'm running quite obsolete slightly
configured OpenPBS 2.3.16, I looked at Torque hoping to find some solution. It
was not the case, thus I'm asking whether someone has some solution for
this issue. </span></font></p>

<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I know just very few about the LSF, but it somehow supports
this feature.</span></font></p>
