Q: How is my CLASSPATH and Java current working directory set on the server?
A: The CLASSPATH of the server is set by the user who started it.
The current working directory of the server is initally set to where the server is started.
It will stay this way unless changed by a client via the server information dialog box.
Q: How can I tell what jobs I have running on the server?
A: There is a java program called FisServerStat that can give a list of currently running jobs.
This program may be run as a graphical or command line program.
Q: What happens if I start a job on the server and then my client dies?
A: What should happen is that the server should continue to run the last command that was given to it.
However, windows that are generated by server will not be able to be displayed in the event of a client death.
Q: Do I have to have the same Java version on client and server?
A: Yes. If java versions do not match, then it is possible that some information may not be able to be sent
between the client and the server. A warning should appear if there is a version mismatch.
Q: Does it matter what directory I start my client on?
A: No, it does not. Although most GUIs have the client's working directory in many text fields,
there is an option in the server inforamtion dialog box to replace the old directory with the one on the server.
Q: Where are my log files? Are they on the client machine or the server machine?
A: When client / server mode is used, the log files are written on the server machine.
Since most applications use a relative path for a log file name, they can usually be found in
the current working directory. Press the Log button on the client to find the log file name.
Q: Is there a difference between memory allocation for the server and the client?
A: Yes, there is a difference.
The server and client run on different JVM's.
When you use the -ms and -mx flags, the memory that is allocated is for that JVM only.
