Run SimLab scripts batch mode in Linux

Roshan Shiveshwar

Hi,

 

 I am trying to run a simple SimLab script in Batch mode on Linux environment.  I am getting the error: 'hwx: cannot connect to X server'.

 

Following  is the command that I am issuing -

 $SIMLAB_SH_FILE -auto fe_modelling_simlab.py -nographics &

Is there any parameter that I am missing in the command ?  Or is it that GUI environment is required for running SimLab in batch mode?

 

 

Thanks,

Roshan

Do you run this command on local or on remote server?

On remote server.  Using 'putty' interface.

In this case, you have to setup a X-Window server on your localhost and setup putty to export 'DISPLAY' from remote to your local X-Window server.

I am trying build some understanding about 'X-Window server'.  So, will this work even if my localhost is a Windows machine?

Yes, there are some free X-Window server for Windows:

• https://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/
• https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/

I used 'vcxsrv' on my Windows laptop.
