Dear All, what is the exact difference in running a job from the Phenix GUI "locally" or detached"? Is any of the two to prefer (I am working on a Mac Pro, OS X 10.5.8)? Thank you. Bye, Roberto.

Hi Roberto, Nat can expand on this, but "locally" is how you usually want to run. Your job is part of the GUI and is fully controlled by the GUI. If you use "locally" then if you quit the GUI your job quits too. If you say "detached" then if you quit the GUI then your job keeps running. All the best, Tom T

is that the GUI is slower to update and some callbacks are disabled - right
now this is mainly the progress bars in Phaser and the statistics-by-cycle
plots in phenix.refine, but the latter are now there in the nightly builds.
If we ever make programs more interactive in the GUI, this may also be
difficult to run in "detached" mode, but that's a long way off.
I will update the documentation to explain the difference - I'm sorry the
labels aren't clearer, but I couldn't think of anything else that would make
sense to non-programmers.
