CSC Sun network

• The department Sun cluster of machines is named after artists:  monet, renoir, rodin, cezanne, matisse, gauguin, cassatt, picasso, cezanne, etc.
• You can see your files (data) from any machine on the cluster, as the file system is "logically" shared.
• Be smart and use a machine with a small load (i.e., few users, try the Unix command "who")
• Each PC is a node on the network
• You have access to resources connected to the network
• Remember that Unix is case-sensitive
• Printing can be done using the following commands:

lpr -Pbslab filename  (in M156)
lpr -Pcslab filename  (in M254)
lpr -Pmlp filename    (in Mendel basement)
lpq -Pbslab           (shows jobs printing on bslab printer)

• Get help on a command by trying one or more of these tricks:

apropos commandname
man commandname
