[auton-users] SCS Network Outage This Sunday

[Michael J. Baysek]

Hi Lab,


Please be aware (and beware!) of the Network Outage scheduled for Sunday 
from 10:00PM - 12:00AM.


If you are running any processes from home over the weekend, be sure to 
run them inside of a persistent session manager like VNC or screen. 


If you trust the way the network outage announcement was worded, CMU to 
CMU connections should not be interrupted.  Notice the qualifier at the 
beginning of that sentence?  To be safe, run your jobs in screen.


To use screen, there are a few simple commands


#create or resume a screen named "mjb_matlab1".  This opens a managed

#terminal that won't die if your connection does. 


screen -R mjb_matlab1


# To "detach" from the virtual screen, press CTRL-A, then "d"


# To see a list of your screens on a machine

screen -ls


# To reattach to a screen

screen -R mjb_matlab1



Screen does much more than just this, but you can use screen with these 
simple instructions.  To learn more about screen, read the man page.

man screen
