We simply make it impossible to run computational software on the head
nodes.
1. No scientific software packages are installed on the local disk.
2. Our NFS-mounted application directory is mounted with noexec.

Does anyone have a good suggestion for this problem?
On a cluster I am implementing I noticed a user is running a code on
16 cores, on one of the login nodes, outside the batch system.
What are the accepted techniques to combat this? Other than applying a
LART, if you all know what this means.
On one system I set up a year or so ago I was asked to implement a
shell timeout, so if the user was idle for 30 minutes they would be
logged out.
This actually is quite easy to set up as I recall.
I guess in this case as the user is connected to a running process
then they are not ‘idle’.
