Mcabber

I've found very nice, small but powerful console jabber client. It's name is Mcabber. I also created its port for Crux.

My dalton's problems

I created a website, where I share some info about my problems with Dalton. At the moment there is only one point (problems with HF direct convergence).

Full info about your jobs in PBS

To get full info about job in PBS you have to use -f option, but it doesn't work with -u $USER option, so you get a list of all jobs, or you have to know yours job id. To get around this problem I created this one line 'script':

qstat -f `qstat -u $USER |grep $USER |awk {'print $1'} |sed 's/[a-z.]//g'`

• qstat -u $USER - create the list of all user jobs,
• grep $USER - cut lines with usernames,
• awk {'print $1'} - prints only column with job id (first one),
• sed 's/[a-z.]//g' - delete all letters and dots from it.

After that you have only id numbers which can be use with qstat -f. You can extent this command further, i.e. to get info about host where you job is running, by adding grep host (it can be very useful at a cluster).
