-
For a command line interface connect using SSH, or use xrdp if you prefer a desktop environment.
-
SSH access is limited while outside of the engineering network, you will have to connect through our login server: scully.egr.msu.edu
-
X2Go and external SSH access are still available on compute01 - compute04, but we are retiring support for both in the near future.
-
-
Scratch files for computational jobs can be stored in /egr/scratch or /localscratch.
-
/egr/scratch is available from all central login and compute servers.
-
/localscratch is specific to each compute server.
-
Files or directories more than 14 days old in /egr/scratch or /localscratch are automatically removed because scratch space is temporary space. /egr/scratch and /localscratch are never backed up.
-
Files needed for long-term usage or archives should be stored in another directory that is backed up, such as /home or /egr/research.
-
-
Screen and Nohup are available to run a process (job) on a server and have it continue after you have logged out or otherwise lost connection to the server.
-
All servers with an uptime greater than 30 days are subject to being rebooted for maintenance and patches. All servers are subject to an unscheduled reboot if an emergency maintenance procedure requires it.
-
Looking for the least loaded server? On any of the Linux servers, type computeuse at the command prompt.

Compute server usage questions may be directed to support@egr.msu.edu. For questions regarding compute server status, please contact unixadmin@egr.msu.edu.
