Does anyone have a good suggestion for this problem? On a cluster I am implementing I noticed a user is running a code on 16 cores, on one of the login nodes, outside the batch system. What are the accepted techniques to combat this? Other than applying a LART, if you all know what this means.
On one system I set up a year or so ago I was asked to implement a shell timeout, so if the user was idle for 30 minutes they would be logged out. This actually is quite easy to set up as I recall. I guess in this case as the user is connected to a running process then they are not 'idle'.
