• From an SCS managed desktop (e.g., hostname is dskscs***.scs.fsu.edu) type:

qlogin -l mathematica

• From all other machines first log in to pamd.scs.fsu.edu

ssh -Y pamd.scs.fsu.edu

• then type:

qlogin -l mathematica

• This command logs you onto the least loaded prism node
• Type:

 mathematica
