Is it possible to run JobScheduler without an X-server?
According to JobScheduler – Installation Guide (page 35), an X-Server and GTK2 is necessary on Unix systems. But what about Linux systems? We do not support X-server due to security reasons and overhead.
The references to X-server and GTK2 on pages 34 & 35 of the JobScheduler Installation Guide apply to two of our GUIs, 'JOE (JobScheduler Object Editor)' and 'JID (JobScheduler Information Dashboard)'. JobScheduler itself can be operated from the command line and you can install it on Linux systems without an X-server.
In this case, you can configure your JS by editing files as described in Chapter 2 of the Installation Guide. The scheduler_install.xml file, which is listed in this chapter, is intended to be self explaining.
If you wish to use our GUIs from a computer with a graphical interface, you can carry out standalone installions of JOE and JID and then access the 'JobSchedulers running on your machines without an X-Server remotely.
See our FAQs: for JOE and for JID.
