Users finding a need to run batch or background jobs which may exceed five minutes of CPU time or two hours of real time must receive prior approval by ITS systems support staff. Users finding a need to run multiple batch or background jobs of any length must receive prior approval by ITS systems support staff.
Users are responsible for the maintenance and removal of unwanted batch or background jobs.
If you have been disconnected from the system, you must attempt to log back into the system and kill any disconnected processes which have been left behind. To that end, systems support staff may stop, kill or re-prioritize jobs which are perceived to be impacting system performance. In the event that the support staff finds it necessary to kill your process, attempts will be made to notify you by email of this event.
