12 SGE_Helper_Service.exe helps the ge_execd(8) to run Windows jobs that
13 request to be allowed to display their GUI on the visible Desktop. It
14 is a Win32 service that is started at boot time under the SYSTEM
15 account, giving it the permissions to give any process the permissions
16 to access the visible Desktop.
17 This service runs independently of the ge_execd(8) (i.e. it is not
18 started and stopped together with the execution daemon) and there can
19 be only one SGE_Helper_Service.exe per host.
20 Jobs can request to be allowed to display their GUI on the visible
21 desktop by requesting the resource "display_win_gui" (qsub -l dis‐
22 play_win_gui=1). See submit(1) , option "-v", for information on how to
23 set a job environment variable.
24 When running GUI jobs, the environment variable SGE_BACKGND_MODE can be
25 used to direct where the output of the GUI will be displayed. If the
26 environment variable SGE_BACKGND_MODE is set to "TRUE" or "1" and "-l
27 display_win_gui=true" is requested, the job is started by the helper
28 service, but the GUI is not opened on the execution host's screen.
29 Instead it is opened on a virtual screen.
