This is a tip contributed by Jfb 15:34, 14 September 2011 (CEST)
I have put this guide together for reference, but also to help anyone who is intending to work on the NILU servers. It is mostly specific to connecting to the machines from a linux box, but there may be alternatives for some of the tools I am discussing here. If I know of them, I will try to make reference as appropriate.
Firs Things First
Let's first take care of a few definitions:
- client
- your local machine/computer that is sitting in front of you
- server / host
- the machine/computer that you are connecting to
- display
- the monitor in front of you
The Client Environment
List of software I use regularly:
Editors
Critical to software programming and working on servers is to have a good editor. I dare not make strong recommendations here, but would suggest that you find one you are comfortable working with. Key features I look for:
- syntax highlighting
- project browser (e.g. a panel that displays project resources next to your editor)
- an object browser (this is getting toward an IDE, but many text editors also have this capacity)
On windows [:notepad++] is a good option. For Linux there are many to choose from, and if you're using linux, you probably have a favorite ;)
Shell / Terminal
For linux I think terminator is a terrific environment for working with the command line.
Once connected to the host machine, you may want to invoke screen if you're running a big job. You can also use 'nohup' of course.
