Additional comments Two versions of software are available: One version is set up to work properly on a machine that uses the AFS file system. In this case, file transfer requests between the Cray and the AFS client require that the Cray present the AFS client with a valid AFS token. This is taken care of as part of the script. The other, and simpler, version, runs on a machine that does not use the AFS file system.
Includes related utilities, PSCFETCH/PSCDISPOSE, PSCDEL and PSCSTAT, which allow file transfer as part of a job, job deletion, and job status inquiry.
Allows UNIX/UNICOS remote job submission very similar to Cray Research VMS/UNICOS Cray station.
The PSC provides this software to those users who prefer to work on a local computer, and to submit jobs to the Cray without logging in directly. It provides users with the conveniences of a "front end" computer, and reduces the number of foreign machines the user must cope with directly.
