      - Open a paKo terminal (same passwd as for the pool account).
      - > goPako (setup the pako session).
      - > pakitoDisplay (open a window with the paKo output).
      - > pako (enter in the paKo program).

=== Start the observation monitoring in mrt-lx4:0.1 ===:

•     - Go to "ObsMonitor" virtual desktop.
      - Open a paKo terminal (same passwd as for the pool account).
      - > antDisplay (start the observation monitoring) {X} Deprecated 
      - Open the web browser konqueror and open various Tab at the following URI (should be done on the Operator Screen):   
         - file:/ncsServer/mrt/ncs/monitor/scanInfo.html  (Job Informations)
         - file:/ncsServer/mrt/ncs/observationQueues (look at the pool directory for the job submitted)
         - http://mrt-lx1/mainWiki  (internal wiki with informations for NCS, Pool, etc: Use it as a feedback for NCS and Pool)

=== Start Xephem ===:

•     - In the "Xephem" virtual desktop (mrt-lx4:0.0) open the xephem sw.
      - All the .edb files for the different projects should be available from there.

       - > cd monacc
       - > mopsic @monacc (start a monitor to check possible acceleration problems with the bolometer).
       - In the "Mopsic" virtual desktop you can open a mopsic session at flexible@mrt-lx3 and > cd monitor; mopsic  (Useful to reduce pointing and focus)

=== Meteo Monitoring ===:

•      - In the virtual desktop "Taumeter" and "Meteosat" in mrt-lt70.0 open the monitor at the URI:
