Handling batch jobs

  • if you want to send a job on a computer and logout without killing the job:
:> nohup ./job

The coma to point conversion in French environment

if you are working with a configuration of Linux which has not the dot "." as a standard format for floating points data (for instance the coma "," in French), you can add the following two lines in your .bashrc file:

LC_NUMERIC=en_US
export LC_NUMERIC

this will make the job without too many side effects.
