	<title><![CDATA[Monitor running jobs on Linux server]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>You as a bioinformatican run lots of program on your servers. Sometime the shared server is also used by your colleague. If server is busy you sometime need to check the running programs and want to monitor the running programs as well. The "top" command will come in handy when you need to find out if things are still running, how long they&rsquo;ve been running, or how much memory is being used.<br /><br />&lsquo;top&rsquo; is very simple to run: type<br /><br />%% top<br /><br />You&rsquo;ll get a screen that looks like this, and is updated regularly:<br /><br /><img src="http://bioinformaticsonline.com/mod/photo/top.png" width="659" height="582" alt="image" style="border: 0px;"><br />Simple, right? Heh.<br /><br />First! Note that you can use &lsquo;q&rsquo; or &lsquo;CTRL-C&rsquo; to exit from &lsquo;top&rsquo;.<br /><br />Now let&rsquo;s read and understand at each line independently.<br /><br />The first line:<br /><br />top - 23:00:48 up 39 days,&nbsp; 2 user,&nbsp; load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00<br /><br />The first line tells you the current time, how long the machine has been up, how many users are logged in, and the short/medium/long-term compute load on the machine. If you run something for a long time, you&rsquo;ll see these numbers go up. Right now, the machine is basically just sitting there, so these are all close to 0.<br /><br />The second line:</p><p>Tasks:&nbsp; 239 total,&nbsp;&nbsp; 1 running,&nbsp; 238 sleeping,&nbsp;&nbsp; 0 stopped,&nbsp;&nbsp; 0 zombie<br /><br />This line tells you how many processes are running. If you are using laptops machines it&rsquo;s not so interesting because you really are the only one using this machine.<br /><br />Cpu(s):&nbsp; 0.0%us,&nbsp; 0.0%sy,&nbsp; 0.0%ni,100.0%id,&nbsp; 0.0%wa,&nbsp; 0.0%hi,&nbsp; 0.0%si,&nbsp; 0.0%st<br /><br />This line contains the CPU load. The first two numbers are how busy the system is doing computation (&ldquo;us&rdquo; stands for &ldquo;user&rdquo;) and how busy the system is doing system-y things like accessing disks or network (&ldquo;sy&rdquo; stands for &ldquo;system&rdquo;). We&rsquo;ll talk more about this later.<br /><br />Mem:&nbsp;&nbsp; 49457320k total,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3492174k used,&nbsp; 14535596k free,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1435148k buffers<br /><br />This should be easy to understand &ndash; how much memory you&rsquo;re using! <br /><br />Swap:&nbsp;&nbsp; 539356k total,&nbsp;&nbsp; 28332k used,&nbsp;&nbsp; 836562k free,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 29862014k cached<br /><br />Swap is just on-disk memory that can be used to &ldquo;swap&rdquo; out programs from main memory. Again, we&rsquo;ll talk about this later.:<br /><br />PID USER&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; PR&nbsp; NI&nbsp; VIRT&nbsp; RES&nbsp; SHR S %CPU %MEM&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; TIME+&nbsp; COMMAND<br />&nbsp; 1 root&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 39 &nbsp; 19&nbsp; 0&nbsp; 0&nbsp; 0 S&nbsp; 0.0&nbsp; 0.0&nbsp;&nbsp; 246:57.22 kipmi0<br />&nbsp; 2 root&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; RT&nbsp;&nbsp; 0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0 S&nbsp; 0.0&nbsp; 0.0&nbsp;&nbsp; 0:00.00 migration/0<br /><br />And... finally! What&rsquo;s actually running! The two most important numbers are the %CPU and %MEM towards the right, as well as the COMMAND. This tells you how compute- and memory-intensive your program is. Right now, nothing&rsquo;s running so the numbers aren&rsquo;t very interesting, but just wait until we run something...</p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Stay Connected and Productive: Unlock the Power of Screen, Tmux, and Mosh for Bioinformatics]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>If you are a bioinformatician, chances are you have spent hours running long, complex analyses on remote servers only to lose your session because of an unstable connection. Frustrating, isnt it? Fear not! With tools like <strong>screen</strong>, <strong>tmux</strong>, and <strong>mosh</strong>, you can safeguard your workflow and stay productive, no matter where you are.</p><h4>Why Remote Session Management is a Must-Have</h4><p>In bioinformatics, tasks like genome assembly, RNA-seq analyses, and phylogenetic computations often take hours or days. A dropped SSH connection can result in:</p><ul>
<li><strong>Lost Progress:</strong> Restarting a job from scratch wastes valuable time.</li>
<li><strong>Workflow Interruptions:</strong> Disruptions can derail your focus and productivity.</li>
<li><strong>Corrupted Data:</strong> Interrupted processes may lead to incomplete or corrupted outputs.</li>
</ul><p>By integrating <strong>screen</strong>, <strong>tmux</strong>, or <strong>mosh</strong> into your workflow, you can avoid these setbacks and ensure a seamless experience.</p><h4>Screen: The Classic Workhorse</h4><p><strong>Screen</strong> is a terminal multiplexer that comes pre-installed on most Linux systems. It allows you to manage multiple terminal sessions and reconnect to them even after being disconnected.</p><p><strong>Getting Started with Screen:</strong></p><ol>
<li><strong>Start a Session:</strong>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>screen</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</li>
<li><strong>Detach from a Session:</strong><br />Press <code>Ctrl+A</code>, then <code>D</code>.</li>
<li><strong>Reattach to a Session:</strong>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>screen -r</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</li>
</ol><p><strong>Pro Tip:</strong> Enhance your screen experience with a customized <code>.screenrc</code> configuration file. Download one here: <a href="https://lnkd.in/es8vhcEH" target="_new">Get .screenrc</a>.</p><h4>Tmux: A Modern Alternative</h4><p><strong>Tmux</strong> takes everything great about screen and adds modern features, including better key bindings and intuitive session management. It\u2019s perfect for bioinformaticians who want more control over their workflow.</p><p><strong>Getting Started with Tmux:</strong></p><ol>
<li><strong>Start a Session:</strong>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>tmux</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</li>
<li><strong>Detach from a Session:</strong><br />Press <code>Ctrl+B</code>, then <code>D</code>.</li>
<li><strong>Reattach to a Session:</strong>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>tmux attach</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</li>
</ol><p><strong>Customize Your Tmux Experience:</strong><br />Use a <code>.tmux.conf</code> file to personalize your setup. Grab one here: <a href="https://lnkd.in/eZZfxmq7" target="_new">Download .tmux.conf</a>.</p><h4>Mosh: The Mobile Shell for Unreliable Connections</h4><p>SSH works well for stable networks, but it struggles in areas with spotty connectivity. Enter <strong>Mosh</strong>, the Mobile Shell. Designed for intermittent networks, Mosh keeps your session alive even when the connection drops temporarily.</p><p><strong>Why Mosh is a Game-Changer:</strong></p><ul>
<li>No lag over high-latency networks.</li>
<li>Automatically reconnects when the network is restored.</li>
<li>Ideal for working on the go, from cafes to trains.</li>
</ul><p><strong>Getting Started with Mosh:</strong></p><ol>
<li><strong>Install Mosh:</strong>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>sudo apt install mosh # For Debian/Ubuntu</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</li>
<li><strong>Connect to a Server:</strong>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>mosh username@server</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</li>
</ol><p>Learn more at <a href="https://mosh.org" target="_new">mosh.org</a>.</p><h4>Why This Matters for Bioinformatics</h4><p>Every bioinformatician knows the value of time and data integrity. Tools like screen, tmux, and mosh provide a lifeline when running long analyses, enabling you to:</p><ul>
<li>Safeguard your work against disconnections.</li>
<li>Easily manage multiple workflows in parallel.</li>
<li>Stay productive, even in challenging environments.</li>
</ul><h4>Quickstart Cheat Sheet</h4><ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Screen:</strong></p>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>screen # Start a session Ctrl+A, D # Detach screen -r # Reattach</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Tmux:</strong></p>
<div>
<div>tmux <span># Start a session </span> Ctrl+B, D <span># Detach </span> tmux attach <span># Reattach</span></div>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Mosh:</strong></p>
<div>
<div>mosh username@server</div>
</div>
</li>
</ul><h4>Final Thoughts</h4><p>As a bioinformatician, your time is too valuable to spend restarting analyses due to technical hiccups. With screen, tmux, and mosh in your toolkit, you can work smarter, protect your progress, and stay productive no matter where you are. Start using these tools today and transform the way you work with remote systems.</p><p>Let me know how these tools work for you, and don\u2019t forget to follow for more bioinformatics tips!</p>]]></description>
