Access to a Shell

Open Ondemand users can access a Shell on MeluXina from their internet browser, with the same configuration and capabilities as if they connected remotely on MeluXina from a local Shell.

To launch a Shell, you can click either on the 'Shell Access' icon from the Welcome page or on the 'Clusters' tab and then 'Shell Access' :

It will open a separate tab into your internet browser with the launched Shell on MeluXina, landing you onto a login node :

From there, you can run jobs, allocate interactively a compute node and browse your files as if you were remotely connected on MeluXina from a local Shell. More details about it are described in our documentation, into the First-steps section.

Please note that by default, your Shell session will automatically get killed after a short time of inactivity.
