Interactive shell#
This app will launch a shell on a compute node in the requested partition, allowing you to use the requested resources within a Linux terminal. This differs from the shell accessed via the “Clusters - Login (Server) Shell Access” menu item, which connects you to one of the login nodes.
Shell environment#
Currently, the cluster modules are not automatically loaded when your session starts. In order to use modules, one needs to explicitly load the cluster module that adheres to the choice of cluster and partition for his or her job. For instance, if your job starts on wICE interactive partition, one needs to execute the following command:
module load cluster/wice/interactive
The same applies for other choices of partitions on Genius or wICE clusters.
The default environment of your interactive shell is the same as when
launching an interactive job from the terminal with srun --pty bash -l.
