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 ?
