Communicating with others

The cluster is a shared resource, and communicating with other users can help to schedule large computations.

Looking-Up Specific Users

A convenient overview of all users and their lab affiliations can be retrieved with the following command:

user_details.sh

You can search for specific users by running:

MATCH1='username1' # Searches by real name, and username, and email address and PI name
MATCH2='username2'
user_details.sh | grep -P "$MATCH1|$MATCH2"
