<P class=MsoNormal><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.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><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. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
