[Vagnekman-users] Vagn: Default time limit for interactive jobs changed

[Mats Kronberg]

Dear Vagn users,

Up until now, the default walltime limit for an interactive job has
been 6 days. This has now been changed to 12 hours.

As long as the "interactive" shell is open, the resources requested
(by default one CPU core and 4GB RAM) are not available to other
users. Since most users seems to use the default settings of
"interactive", and it is very easy to forget to close your interactive
session when you are done using it, we have decided to lower the
default walltime to 12 hours (the Vagn user group representatives
agreed to this change earlier this week).

If you need your interactive session to live longer than 12 hours, you
can still do so by using the "-t" flag to interactive (e.g
"interactive --mem=2048 -t 48:00:00").
