Linux

Important Notes

The crucial bits you need to know when working in our linux environment.

• /sandbox is scratch space intended for fast, local data access. It is not backed up. Pretend it's a ramdisk.
• login machines (login.mcs.anl.gov) are interactive login machines. People rely on them for interactive session. Do not monopolize CPU on these machines.
• Don't monopolize CPU on anyone's desktop other than your own without explicit permission. If we are asked to kill a process on someone's desktop by that person, we will do so.
