Background
We are going to use a new TACC application called 'idev' to get Interactive Access to a computing node on Lonestar. We'll go into depth about how to use idev this afternoon, but for now, please do the following before heading to lunch.
1. Open a NEW terminal window connection to Lonestar
ssh username@lonestar.tacc.utexas.edu
2. Enter the following command at the prompt
echo "StrictHostKeyChecking no" >> ~/.ssh/config
3. Launch an idev session that lasts 3 hours
idev -m 180 -n normal
Just hit *Return* in response to any questions asked by the system when idev first launches
