screen

screen is a usefull tool to keep long time tasks (a.e. magma, matlab) running on a computer without keeping your session online while the whole computation

  • open a console and connect thru SSH to the machine you want to run the task on (most likely: baxter) by typing the hosts name: [user@srX] baxter and enter your password

  • type screen maple (if you want to run maple.)

  • to detach from screen ("send it to background"), press Ctrl + A + D

  • you now can log off from the terminal and your task will keep running
  • if you want to check progress of your computations, log in to the machine where your task is running like you did before
  • use screen -raAd to connect to your task
