  • To avoid invoking the GUI with the sturec option, unset the DISPLAY

    • e.g. from the class account

      DISPLAY=; classrun -u 1234567 -sturec

      e.g. from the student account, (if DISPLAY is set)

      DISPLAY=; 1911 classrun -sturec

  • To give tutors access to -mark and -rsms, add their account names to $WORK/give.spec under the &authorisation directive. e.g.

    • &authorisation z7654321 MARK RSMS z1234567 MARK RSMS cs9999 MARK RSMS &end

  • Use VNC or VLAB to run Xmark and sms on your personal computer. These applications run slow using X-windows (Xming etc)
