h1. Setup Remote Processing 

 The web interface for Appion allows one to directly login to a computer and process Appion jobs. But this requires a job submission system to be installed. 

 The following applies to the both a web-server computer (setup earlier) and job submission system. The job submission system usually consists of a head node (main computer) and individual processing nodes (slave computers) for running jobs. As of these system can exist on an individual computer. 

 # [[Setup job submission server]] 
 # [[Install SSH module for PHP]] 
 # [[Configure web server to submit jobs]] 
 # [[Testing job submission]] 
 # [[Potential job submission problems]] 

 h2. Remote Appion Processing through ssh 
 
 A more advanced way to run appion script is done through an ssh session. This is equivalent of having you ssh into a computer and starting the appion processes. 

 There are two kinds of appion processes: 
 * The first is a single-node process that can be run on a stand-alone workstation or the head-node of a computer cluster without PBS. 
 * The second is a multiple-node process that requires PBS to run on the cluster.   

 When you use "Just Show Command" option, it is always a single-node process, but if you run through ssh it could be either, depending on the demand of the process.    For example, imageuploader.py is typically always run as single-node process while maxlikeAlignment.py is either run on single-node with "Just Show Command" or as a PBS job submission when you run through ssh.
