CGRER: Computer Laboratory

Lab User's Responsibilities


Your CGRER computer account is only to be used for CGRER-related research. The workstations should not be used for doing homework. Check with the CGRER Data Systems Coordinator is you think your coursework qualifies as CGRER research.

Do not give out your computer account or provide the laboratory access security codes to other individuals unless specifically authorized to do so. The computer account is for your exclusive use only. Please inform the CGRER Data Systems Coordinator if you will be accessing your CGRER computer account from an out-of-town address.

Use the CGRER computer resources prudently and be considerate of the needs of other users. Use the batch command whenever possible to allow others to use the machine while your program runs. Log out if you are away from the computer terminal for more than 15-20 minutes. Don't use more than one X-terminal or workstation at a time. Use of these computer facilities during non-peak usage times such as evenings and weekends is encouraged.

Please promptly report any computer hardware or software problems that you may encounter. Inform the CGRER Data Systems Coordinator by e-mail if possible or leave a written note. If you encounter a serious problem at night or on the weekend you can call one of the emergency phone numbers posted on the phone by the laboratory entrance.

Do not remove any of the books, manuals, or other publications from the CGRER computer laboratory without first obtaining permission to do so.
