Remote running with PyFoam?
 

I would like to code a script which sets up a series of cases, runs them and analyzes the results. This so far worked smoothly using PyFoam.

Since I will need the results on a Windows machine I was thinking of setting aside a second computer just for the simulations. Switching back and forth with a USB stick is not handy, so I was wondering if there was a (reasonable) way of remote controlling the system over the LAN.

All I could find were runners that can monitor and kill simulations, but is it possible to clone and start them as well?

That would be cool :)

For cloning you have pyFoamCloneCase.py (or what do you mean).

For starting simulations remotely I didn't see any need yet because I use SunGridEngine to distribute runs to computers/clusters. PyFoam supports that with the ClusterJob-class (there are some examples around). Other queuing managers (than SGE) are possible but not implemented

Concerning the general question: you should describe WHAT you actually want that couldn't be done with scp and connecting via ssh to that machine. Or do you want a pyFoamCloneCase via ssh / pyFoamRunner via ssh ?
