I run a research group at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in the College of Engineering. All the computers in my research group are Macs: half a dozen iMacs, a dual G5, a Macbook, Powerbook Pro, a mini. For power computing I have an 8-node, 3gig, Macpro named sandman. I want to be able to use sandman as a server for the other machines. For example, I want to be able to log into sandman from the iMac, chuck, in my office and execute MacOS software running on sandman but displaying on chuck.
I know that I can do this with Screen Sharing. However, there are times when one of my students is using sandman directly and I don't want to interrupt their session.
Now, if I ssh into sandman using X11, I can set my display to chuck and successfully execute X11 softeware on sandman but displaying on chuck. I want to be able to do the same thing with MacOS software, e.g. Safari, XCode, or Parallels Desktop.
Is there a way to do this? It doesn't necessarily have to be through ssh either.
thanks in advance for the help and advice,
dan
