4. Tips and Tricks
Miscellaneous tips:
  • You can log in interactively even when type is set to batch
  • ssh is not available on the compute nodes; first make a secure connection to a login node, then telnet to the compute node
  • T: is useful both for scratch space and for speedier file access on the local node
  • Commands in a batch script can either use explicit pathnames or rely on current working directories
  • Your batch script can call a perl or python script
  • Spaces and cases are sometimes important
Remember:
  • You must always change your password with ccpasswd to be recognized by CCS; if you change your password by any other means, issue ccpasswd -r from a login node
  • You must submit your job with ccsubmit
  • The path to your batch script cannot include spaces
  • %USERNAME% cannot be used in the line REM CCS account = userid
  • To share resources and avoid unnecessary billing, use ccrelease when you're done
