SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of managing finite server sessions by providing timely alerts and automatic state saving, preventing data loss and workflow interruption.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Session Time Reporting: Calculates and reports remaining time on ondemand sessions on HiPerGator.
  • Automated Warnings: Sends email alerts before session expiration at critical thresholds.
  • State Preservation: Saves current SLURM jobs, completed tasks, and working context to enable seamless resumption.
  • Use Case: When a researcher runs a long computational task, this Skill automatically warns them as the session nears expiry and preserves their progress, saving manual effort and reducing risks of session termination.

Quick Start

To activate, run the background watchdog script before starting your session to monitor and alert you as time runs out.
