Key Features

X-Win32 Live

Server Information

The LIVE server starts automatically when a LIVE client connects. The client runs the rxsci program, which in turn starts rxserver, if it isn't already running. Communication between the LIVE components on the server are through files and named sockets in a directory named .nx in your home directory, which is created automatically. You do not need to start anything after installation. It will automatically exit when you terminate your last running session.

For security reasons, each user runs his own instance of the LIVE server.

Installation Options

If you are an administrator on the Linux machine on which you will install the Live Server, it is recommended that you use the root installation. This will install using RPM, which will automatically check dependencies, and install the server into the place where all users can use it. The non-root installation file is a compressed tar file, which will be installed in your home directory.

The LIVE Server is available for, Linux, Linux-64, Solaris, Solaris-x86, AIX, HP-UX.
