NAME
SGE_Helper_Service.exe - Sun Grid Engine job execution agent
helper service
SYNOPSIS
SGE_Helper_Service.exe [ -help | -install | -uninstall ]
DESCRIPTION
SGE_Helper_Service.exe helps the sge_execd(8) to run Windows
jobs that request to be allowed to display their GUI on the
visible Desktop. It is a Win32 service that is started at
boot time under the SYSTEM account, giving it the permis-
sions to give any process the permissions to access the
visible Desktop.
This service runs independently of the sge_execd(8) (i.e. it
is not started and stopped together with the execution dae-
mon) and there can be only one SGE_Helper_Service.exe per
host.
Jobs can request to be allowed to display their GUI on the
visible desktop by requesting the resource "display_win_gui"
(qsub -l display_win_gui=1). See submit(1) , option "-v",
for information on how to set a job environment variable.
When running GUI jobs, the environment variable
SGE_BACKGND_MODE can be used to direct where the output of
the GUI will be displayed. If the environment variable
SGE_BACKGND_MODE is set to "TRUE" or "1" and "-l
display_win_gui=true" is requested, the job is started by
the helper service, but the GUI is not opened on the execu-
tion host's screen. Instead it is opened on a virtual
screen.
