<div dir="ltr">Hey there,<div><br></div><div>Recently I've started working with the R package -parallel- using multiple machines each one with its own address (host). The connections are not done via port 22 and further depend on username. Here is an example of a PSOCK cluster that I create</div><div><br></div><div>cl <- makePSOCKcluster(c('localhost', '<a href="http://machine2.website.com">machine2.website.com</a>' , '<a href="http://machine3.website.com">machine3.website.com</a>'), user='myusername', rshcmd='ssh -p PORTNUMBER')</div><div><br></div><div>Notice that I use rshcmd to specify the port number. This last point I cant do in siena07. I know that I can change the default port in ssh and do something like this</div><div><br></div><div>cl <- makePSOCKcluster(c('localhost', '<a href="mailto:myusername@machine2.website.com">myusername@machine2.website.com</a>' , '<a href="mailto:myusername@machine3.website.com">myusername@machine3.website.com</a>'))</div><div><br></div><div>which solves the issue, but having to change the default port number on my computer isn't the nicest solution either. That said, I wanted to ask if any of you guys have came up with a similar situation and how you solved it.</div><div><br></div><div>On the side I think it might be a good idea to include a -cl- argument on -siena07- so that the user can build its own cluster and pass it directly to siena07 (just like the boot command in the boot package does). Not a big change to make but very useful. If only I could submit patches to RSiena (like one does via Pull Requests on github) I would love to do so (any way of doing that?).</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>George G.
