How to Run a Job

Note: You must have an ASCC user account.


1. To begin, you have to access a UNIX shell one of the ASCC machines. If you using a Windows workstation, one way to do this is with the SSH Secure Shell. Or you could open a shell using Exceed.

3. Submit script to queue. (see Accessing Queue Jobs below)
