=== Screen ===
 +
The alignment pipeline will run overnight, but you'll want to log out.

 +
; How do I leave something running on the server even if I log out?
 +
: One solution is screen!
 +
 +
; How do I use screen?
 +
: Before running your command, you need to start screen:
 +
: <pre>screen</pre>
 +
 +
[[File:Screen.png]]
 +
 +
As it says, press <code>Space</code> or <code>Return</code>.
 +
* It should now look basically the same as your normal command line.
 +
 +
You can now start your alignment:
 +
/home/mktrost/seqshop/gotcloud/gotcloud align --conf ~/personal/gotcloud.2x.conf --numjobs 1
 +
Yes, leave that as /home/mktrost/seqshop/gotcloud/gotcloud - that is where gotcloud is installed.  The ~/... points GotCloud to your specific configuration file.
 +
 +
You should now see your alignment running:
 +
 +
;Want to log out and leave your job running?
 +
In the screen window, type:
 +
Ctrl-a d
 +
(Hold down Ctrl and type 'a', let go of both and type 'd')
 +
* This will "detach" from your screen session while your alignment continues to run.
 +
 +
;How do you log back into screen tomorrow?
 +
screen -r
 +
This will resume an already running screen.
 +
* Feel free to test it out and you will see your alignment still running
 +
** Just use Ctrl-a d to detach from screen and leave your job running
