Dependencies
You need a vncviewer; on debian, either one of these two:
sudo apt-get install tigervnc-viewer sudo apt-get install vinagre
Procedure
- We need two channels to perform the observations: one is for monitoring the antenna activity, the other is to send the commands through pako.
- I personally use
vinagre- To open a connection, click
connect- Host is
mrt-enter.iram.es:30ormrt-enter.iram.es:31
- Host is
- Use host:
remote@mrt-enter.iram.es
- To open a connection, click
Alternatively, in a terminal:
vncviewer -via remote@mrt-enter.iram.es mrt-remote.iram.es:30
But I had issues with this, so I use vinagre
Start PAKO; open a
xtermssh xxx_yy@observe $>gopako $>pakodisplay $>pako
Monitoring
vncviewer -via remote@mrt-enter.iram.es mrt-remote.iram.es:31 # Enter a.....G twice
- Notes:
- mrt-remote:30 use it to specify your observations
- mrt-remote:31 use it do monitoring and other tasks
- mrt-remote:32 can be used for other tasks open to everybody
Opening an SSH tunnel
using the account password
ssh -f -L 5932:mrt-remote.iram.es:5932 042-24@mrt-enter.iram.es sleep 300
- then, open
vinagreand proceed to kill the tunnel process
lsof -nP -i4TCP:5932 | grep LISTEN | awk '{print $2}’where 5932 could be 5930 or 5931. Then,
kill -9the echoed process number.
