NAME
SGE_Helper_Service.exe - xxQS_NAMExx job execution agent helper service
SYNOPSIS
SGE_Helper_Service.exe [ -help | -install | -uninstall ]DESCRIPTION
SGE_Helper_Service.exe helps the
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 permissions to give any process the
permissions to access the visible Desktop.
This service runs independently of the
(i.e. it is not started and stopped together with the execution daemon) 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
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 execution
host's screen. Instead it is opened on a virtual screen.
The Windows administrator can operate this service using the usual Windows
Service Control Manager or the "net" command. The "start" method starts the
service if possible, the "stop" method stops it regardless of any jobs that
might be still running. For a graceful shutdown, first run the "pause" method.
This will start the shutdown procedure of the service and prevent it from
accepting any further jobs. After this, the "resume" (aka "continue") method
will fail as long as there are jobs running in the
SGE_Helper_Service.exe.
If no job is left in the service, the "resume" method will succeed and the
service will stop.
