Tools
List of tools for common tasks such as editing files, software development and configuration, simple post-processing. Please not that while these tools are often run on the login node, if you are processing large files or running jobs that take more than a few minutes to run, please run these tools via the batch queue. This can easily be done with a simple jobscript. Long running post-processing jobs may be killed if they are affecting the performance of the login node.
