Procedures

If you’re trying to run a webapp or other kind of server process on the SSH login server (ssh.ocf.berkeley.edu), please note that the SSH login server is firewalled and what you’re trying to do unfortunately won’t work. If you’re a group and you’re trying to run a webapp, you may want to consider apphosting instead.

In particular, if you are going to run a batch job which may require a lot of computing power, you are advised to run it under nice and/or ionice to lower its CPU priority and I/O priority respectively. OCF staff reserve the right to terminate or otherwise decrease the resource usage of processes which are consuming too many resources.

You are welcome to run unattended processes on the OCF. However, you are ultimately responsible for ensuring that your unattended processes do not unduly interfere with others’ ability to use the shared computing resources.
