Kimik "How to ..."

• Manual for beginners

• How to connect to kimik2

From a linux PC:

    ssh -X kimik2.iciq.es

• do not exceed your disk quota

Every user has 23 GB of disk space in his $HOME (same disk for kimik and kimik2). When your files will exceed 22GB a notice e-mail will be sent to your ICIQ e-mail. You will still be able to work "normally" until you reach 23GB. At this point you wont be able to save any more data, your calculations will die....

To check the free/used space look at: how to check the disk space used

To liberate space: delete all un-useful files and use Gzip to compress the other ones
