Managing Your Account

  • When your account is first activated, the default shell is set to bash. The tcsh shell is also available. To change your shell to tcsh, add the following line to the end of the file named .bash_profile, located in your home ($HOME) directory.

    exec -l /bin/tcsh

    To begin using this new shell, you can either log out and then log back in or execute exec -l /bin/tcsh on your command line.

  • The Campus Cluster uses the module system to set up the user environment. See Managing Your Environment (Modules) for details.

  • You can reset your NetID password at the Password Management page.

Illinois Computes Allocations

You can use the following command to see your group’s CPU hours used. Replace account_name with the name of the account you want to check. You can also change the Start date value (yyyy-mm-dd) to suit your needs. Note, this command does not show GPU hours.

sreport -M icc -thour cluster AccountUtilizationByUser account=account_name Start="2022-01-01"

If you hit your predefined hours cap, you are still able to run jobs. Your jobs will just be given a lower priority in the queue. See the Campus Cluster Illinois Computes Queue Policy for complete details. If you need more hours, you can try requesting more through the Illinois Computes program.
