NAME
       session	-  graphical  interface for configuring tasks using cpu(4) and
       ns(1) resources

SYNOPSIS
       grid/session

DESCRIPTION
       Session allows the user to build up a  single  namespace	 from  various
       different  namespace  resources	and  configure a set of commands to be
       executed within this namespace. The execution then takes place  on  one
       or more selected cpu(4) resources.

       Once  started, session presents a heirarchical view of currently regis‐
       tered resources (such as ns(1)) which  export  a	 Styx  (see  intro(5))
       namespace.  The	top  level displays the type of resource e.g.  'CPUre‐
       source', whilst the second level shows  the  name  of  each  individual
       resource. Descending futher down the tree will reveal the attributes of
       the selected resource. To mount a resource and  see  the	 namespace  it
       exports,	 click	mouse  button  3  on  the resource name. The view will
       switch to a split pane view  displaying	the  resource  namespace  with
       directories  listed  on the left and all files in the current directory
       displayed on the right.

       Clicking mouse button 3 on a file or directory  will  cause  it	to  be
       added  to  the  command	or namespace list at the bottom of the window.
       Mouse button 3 is again used on items in either of these lists to  dis‐
       play  a	menu  containing  the  name  of the resource on which they are
       located as well as the option to remove them. The Cmd  and  Ns  buttons
       located	at  the top of the window toggle the view between the selected
       commands and the selected namespace. The Resources  button  returns  to
       the  initial  view  containing  the  currently registered resources and
       Refresh updates the list in case	 any  resources	 have  been  added  or
       removed.

   The Command List
       This  contains a list of all commands to be executed. Any arguments may
       be entered by clicking on the gap after args: and typing into the  box.
       Commands will be executed in order from top (first) to bottom (last).

   The Namespace List
       This  contains a list of all the directories to be imported in order to
       create the local namespace  of  the  selected  cpu(4)  resource(s).  By
       default,	 several  directories will be imported from the local machine.
       To select these, click button 3 on import local namespace and (un)check
       the  directories	 as  required. To toggle this option on and off, click
       button 1 on import local	 namespace.   These  default  directories  are
       required	 by  many  commands  for normal execution so it is recommended
       that they are not disabled  unless  they	 are  definitely  not  needed.
       Importing  a  directory of the same name as one of the default directo‐
       ries will automatically overwrite the default.  Therefore,  it  is  not
       necessary  to  disable  a  default  directory if the same name is to be
       imported from elsewhere.

       A given directory can only be imported once so it is not possible,  for
       example,	 to  import /usr/inferno from two different machines.  Session
       will automatically  import  the	directories  containing	 each  of  the
       selected	 commands but any others required must be explicitly imported.
       For example: If one of the commands is:

	    /usr/inferno/runme.dis -f /appl/lib

       Session will import /usr/inferno/ but /appl/lib would have to be speci‐
       fied in the namespace list.

   Execution
       Once  the command and namespace lists have been configured, click Ok on
       the Session window. This will bring up the query(1) window containing a
       list  of the available cpu(4) resources. To select one or more of these
       for execution, click on the name with button 3 and it will be added  to
       the list. If a specific cpu(4) resource is not required, click button 3
       on CPU resource and select the number you require by  clicking  on  the
       number following the list entry and dragging the mouse up or down.

       Once  the  required  cpu(4)  resources have been selected, click Ok and
       execution will commence.
