BNL Wifi proxy

http://wpad.bnl.gov/wpad.dat

use http proxy 192.168.1.4:3128 for internal access, 192.168.1.140:3128 for external access

tunnel to logbook

better to tunnel to the proxy above

ssh -L 5889:logbook.phenix.bnl.gov:80 -L 7815:logbook.phenix.bnl.gov:7815
userid@rssh04.rhic.bnl.gov

Getting Started

RCF is RHIC Computing Facility. To get an account:

• register for a guest number for BNL
• apply for a RCF computing account for PHENIX or whatever

Then we can try something on RCF:

• log on RCF gateway rssh.rhic.bnl.gov using any SSH client
• from rssh.rhic.bnl.gov, you can ssh to defferent machines of RCF
• e.g. rcf2 for email, rcasXXXX (XXXX is an 4-digit integer,2xxx is for PHENIX) for interactive session

SSH key pair

Two factor auth @RCF - using PUTTY-Gen under Windows

https://www.racf.bnl.gov/docs/authentication/ssh/sshkeygenunix

csh

csh is the default shell at PHENIX...

for quick reference: http://www.eng.hawaii.edu/Tutor/csh.html

this link gives some basic idea of csh and maybe sh/bash, etc: http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/

this link gives you some weak points of csh: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/shell/csh-whynot/

Simulation

Simulation of PHENIX is done by PISA, a GEANT3-based program. My notes on PISA is here.

Condor

You may want to run your jobs by batch system on rcf, please find the tutorial for Condor here. Examples for PHENIX computing is at /phenix/u/phnxreco/condor/condor.job

A quick example is:

Executable     =  /bin/ls
Universe = vanilla

output  = /phenix/u/purschke/condor_examples/condor1.out
error  = /phenix/u/purschke/condor_examples/condor1.error
Log  = /phenix/u/purschke/condor_examples/condor1.log

Initialdir     =  /phenix/u/purschke/condor_examples

+Experiment     = "PHENIX"
+Job_Type       = "cas"

Queue

Useful commands for condor are:

condor_submit jobfile
condor_q
condor_q -global
condor_q -long
condor_q -analyze
condor_q -global username
condor_rm jobname
condor_status -long <machine name>
condor_status -submitter

Using -a option to perform batch jobs:

#! /bin/sh

for file in /phenix/data59/phnxreco/run5CuCu_200GeV_agg73/CNT_MB/*158646*.root ; do
    echo $file
    purefile=`basename $file`
    stem=`basename $purefile .root`
    condor_submit \
    -a "output = $stem.out" \
    -a "error = $stem.error" \
    -a "Log = $stem.log" \
    -a "Arguments = $file" \
    condor_simple
done

format output of condor_q

condor_q -format "%5d" ClusterId -format "%20s\n" Owner -format "%s" Cmd -format "%s\n" Args

delete jobs matchs pattern

condor_q username| grep pattern | perl -lne '/^(\d+\.\d)/; print $1' | xargs condor_rm

condor_rm `condor_q -format "%d." ClusterId -format "%d" ProcId -format " %s\n" Args | grep 279570 | awk '{print $1}'`
