Initial Goal

..is to run GR in a VM.  Probably that entails

  1. Make an "appliance": rhel5 or rhel6 VM with Gleam executable and all required libraries, job options, etc.
  2. To start, would be simplest to run MC job, write output to VM local disk.
  3. Write program or script for host machine which will do one of the following:
    • start up Gleam in the already-up-and-running VM
    • first boot up the VM, then ask it to run Gleam

  • Supported OSes VirtualBox supports Linux, Windows and Mac for client and host. VMplayer supports Linux and Windows   
  • API VirtualBox has C++
  • No labels
