Maxwell Service

Install

# apt-get install -y hubzero-mw-service

Configure

# mkvztemplate amd64 squeeze manny
# hzcms configure mw-service --enable

Test

This test will show a failure the first time it is run. After the first session is created additional sessions should start without error. Be sure to stop each session you start using this test (as described below).

# maxwell_service startvnc 1 800x600 24

Enter an 8 character password when prompted (e.g., "testtest")

This should result in a newly create OpenVZ session with an instance of a VNC server running inside of it. The output of the above command should look something like:

This should report an SSL connection with a self signed certificate and output text should end with:

---
RFB 003.008

If you see this then you successfully connected to the VNC server running inside the newly created OpenVZ session.

Clean up

# maxwell_service stopvnc 1

Which should give output similar to:

Killing 6 processes in veid 1 with signal 1
Killing 7 processes in veid 1 with signal 2
Killing 5 processes in veid 1 with signal 15
Got signal 9
