Basic Information on server
Key: server
This is used to specify the TV display device. It is giving in the
form:
type@server
or
type@device
The first form causes a connection to be made with a network
display server, whereas the second form uses local hardware
directly. For the network servers, the server process may have
to be started before invoking the Miriad task -- see below.
Currently supported types are:
xmtv Miriad X server. `server' is the servers hostname.
Normally the xmtv server will be the same host as
the X server. The user will normally invoke the xmtv
server before running any Miriad TV tasks, with
% xmtv &
If the X server and xmtv server are on different
hosts, you may need to set the DISPLAY environment
variable on the xmtv server, and use xhost on the
X server.
ivas IVAS (VMS only). `device' is the VMS device name.
You will require an IIS IVAS for this.
ivserver IVAS server. `server' is the servers hostname.
Servers are currently installed on
castor.astro.uiuc.edu and bkyast.berkeley.edu.
msss Miriad Sun Screen server. `server' is the serving
Sun, which can be any Sun with a console. The user
will normally invoke the server before running
any Miriad TV tasks, with
% msss &
mxas Miriad X server. `server' is the servers hostname.
This is an inferior server to xmtv.
