Create a SimNode that allows a simulation to run via
SSH and SCP that can copy the files to the simulation
computer, run the simulation, and not use the normal
run-time merge file system.
Also, have a login prompt for the username and
password, since it will probably be required.
This could allow someone outside of the network to
login and run a simulation from their Windows laptop or
some such without needing to have the directories
mounted. Also, it would avoid having to ssh to a local
machine and having some kind of X-Windows setup running
on the laptop to show the GUI through.
Alternate ways of updating plots:
* Don't. Wait until simulation is complete.
* Copy all files every update.
* Copy only files that are going to be used in the
merge, and re-create the merge each time. "Used in the
merge" is determined by which plots (if any) are being
drawn.
It would probably be best to have a manual "update"
feature for this SimNode instead of the automatic
"every so many timesteps" one, but that could get
difficult to implement.
