Pop-up windows

[Stephen_B]

Is there an option for console-only mode, and will closing the graphics window mess up the simulation? I had 5 windows opened by the client.

Hiya,
Under Linux you can get rid of the windows by typing
DISPLAY= at the command prompt before launching the script. Under winodows there might be a way, try looking at the help for the command start..

Steven, I saw your post awhile back where you said you had 5 windows open. Did you mean you have 5 instances of the program running on a single processor machine? Do you have 5 processes of java.exe running? And did you ever get an answer on whether it hurts anything to close the graphics window?

Thanks,

Dan Replogle

I always close the windows, and it doesn't seem to bother the client at all. Also, you will get a new window each time the server is reset; I have occassionally had 2 or 3 windows open at a time due to this.

The client is threaded, and each thread shows up as a process under linux.

Right now, for example, I have 22 threads running, each of which has its own process ID.

I think what happens with the window is that, every time the server launches a different project, a new window pops up but the old one remains.

Just to confirm this: you can close all GUI windows without affecting the client.

I seem to be able to, yes.
