7.2 Creating a Session

Viewpoint lets you create and edit sessions that users may access to view information about your jobs.

7.2.1 Create or Terminate a Session

To create or terminate a session, do the following:

  1. If you have not already done so, access the Sessions page. (Click SESSIONS in the menu bar.)
  2. Click CREATE SESSION to create a new session.

    The Create Sessions page displays with the command and screen resolution fields.

  3. Enter the graphical command you want to run inside your remote visualization session. These include gnome-session, xterm, firefox, etc.

    For a desktop like Gnome, the screen will auto-size to your browser. For single applications requested without a desktop, like xterm or Firefox, there is limited resizing.

  4. Click START SESSION to start the session and stay on this page.
  5. Click TERMINATE to terminate the chosen session.
