#294: Idea for interactive commands running a command -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: eschnett | Owner: mthomas Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- On some systems, one can use ssh to access compute nodes if one has a job running there (e.g. on Longhorn at TACC). In this case, Simfactory can submit a regular job executing a sleep command, can poll (every minute) whether the job is running, and if so, log in to the corresponding compute node.
As suggested above, this mechanism is even necessary on some systems (Longhorn), where no other interactive access to compute nodes is possible.
