The PADE Monitor menu enables the user to configure PADE to launch
a custom parallel applications monitor program such as Paragraph or
Xab3 in an xterm window. This menu is depicted in Fig. 5.4. The entries in this menu are as follows.
- xab3 - Selection of this menu-entry invokes an instance of the
PVM application monitor xab3. If xab3 is not in the user's
search path (which would be the case were the program not installed), this
menu-entry is disabled.
- User-defined monitor: - This menu-entry enables the user to
specify a custom program to be launched from an xterm window. Selection
of this entry invokes the PADE Entry window. This window consists of a
text-entry box at the top preceded by the words Enter monitor command:
and a row of four buttons on the bottom. These buttons are
- Clear - Erase any text in the text-entry box.
- File Browser - Invoke the file browser to select the custom
program to be executed.
- Done - Accept the entered command and exit.
- Cancel - Ignore the entered command and exit.
Note that if either the Done or Cancel buttons are selected when
there is no text in the text-entry box, PADE assumes that no user-defined program has been specified and disables the Run user-defind monitor
button described next
- Run user-defined monitor - This menu-entry enables the user to
execute the previously selected custom program. Selection of this program
invokes an instance of a xterm window in which the custom program is
launched.
