Running scripts remotely

Maybe your Computer switch into power saving mode after one hour, so the calculation will be stopped.
Just try to switch power saving mode option off in your laptop settings.

Hi Rinaldi,

how do you connect to the remote computer? via SSH? if so, try
following:

ssh username@domain
yade-daily-batch scriptname.py &
logout

the ampresand (&) character makes the process run in backround and it
will run even after logout. If you need to check the output, you can use

yade-daily-batch scriptname.py > output.log &

the > output.log will redirect all stdout (everythin what is normally
printed to terminal) to output.log file, so tomorrow you can log in
again and check what everything happened.

hopefully it will help you

regards
Jan

Hi,

you can use "screen"-program on the remote machine [1].
I use it for all stimulations, which do not require qt-module.

You can create as many screens as you want, they can run your
simulations in background.

Hey Giuseppe,

I use the command "screen", both from ubuntu and mac os terminal.
After you download it, you open the terminal, type "screen", launch the simulation.
The simulation will then continue even if you close the terminal (or the remote access).

It works when you launch the simulation directly on your pc, or with a remote access.

Hope it helps,
Giulia

Hi,

Personnally I use NX:

 when you log out the remote computer, you can choose the option "disconnect", in this case your session in the remote computer stays open and the simulation continues when you leave the remote access and turn off your laptop.

thanks to all of you!
