[auton-users] Lops/Loqs/etc Usage

[Brent Bryan]

Dear All,

  I am continuing to run some CMB simulations that I've been running for
some time.  While these jobs are not a high priority, I would like to use
all the idle time on the lops (etc).  Since Condor has been removed, there
is not a simple way to schedule my jobs around other users, so I have
devised a file based approach.

I currently have jobs running on the loqs, and lors (not los):  if you
want to use a machine that is currently running one of my jobs (and please
feel free to, if no others are available), simply log into that machine
and cd to /tmp/bryanba_cmb/.  The "/tmp/bryanba_cmb/" directory will
contain files with names like "cmb2342flag".  Deleting one of these files
will cause one of my processes to stop (in 2-5 minutes).

Mike and I have tested this and it seems to work.  However, if it doesn't
or this process is confusing, let me know.

Thanks.
