Kondor and XvFB

 

We need to develop small scripts for Kondor – Finastra Risk Trading Application.
Program use a binary called DealManager
We must run this binary in the script but this binary requires an X-server absolutely.
Therefore we had to install XvFB – X Virtual Frame Buffer

Tricky part with XvFB is below. If it does not start, you may need to make mkfontdir for problematic fonts it gave error message.

·         Similar XvFB requirement also occured at IBM IIB mqsicreatebar tool
