HPCWorks Access Web (?) Run External Scripts, possible?
I think this system is called Altair HPCWorks or Access Web, where you can submit a job onto a cluster. Whatever the name is, in this system, I am submitting jobs well and I kinda like it. The remote desktop application is a bit quarky and resolution (and keeping that resolution without things falling off the screen) kinda socks (spelling intended). But it gets the job done, kinda slow (and I ain't talking about buffer streaming). And again, Altair's documentation is always missing that 20% bit of information in all cases so...
Anyway. My question is...
Is there a shell application on the 'desktop', like bash that we can type commands into.
so we can do something like: python workflow3.py
Can we execute a python or perl script on that cluster?
Is there some basic canned scripting environment that is ever present with the deployment, like python or perl that we can tap into? If so, how do we access it, execute it, etc. Can we install some executable on the cluster?
Thank you
This is what I see on my Chrome webpage…


I'm not an AccessWeb expert, but I do know that you can submit jobs from either the command line or Access with a job script, and it can be either a shell script or a python script. Check out the User Guide for your version of PBS Pro for the deets on command line job submission. You'll need to dig into the Application Definition documentation for how to set that up in Access.
