This could be used to implement realtime displays or on the fly data processing in the future. We do not use this option currently. Director A simple CLI such as DetCom has many limitations. But these can be overcome without any modifications to DetCom itself. Merges several CLI's like DetCom and a telescope control CLI into one command set.
Director allows commands to be routed to different places from a single point of control.
Standard Unix remote-shell daemons connect the CLI's to Director. One final feature of Director which has proven quite useful to our staff is the capability to run multiple instances of the user interface from any internet location with telnet and Web access. Each copy of the interface shows the same buffer although different views can have the debugging messages hidden or revealed. Think of it as a chat room, where everybody can see what is going on at the same time. After appropriate authentication, it is even possible to send commands from the copies or broadcast messages to the other windows.
