+Just some questions I had while using this cluster system.
-====== One of my jobs is running under an allocation group that is not mine! ======
+====== What is the maximum ''wall'' time? ======
+It's 30 days. You can run jobs for as long as that and you don't need to ask permission to an administrator. Also, have in mind that this limit cannot be extended.
+If you are going to run very long jobs, please consult the [[checkpoint_techniques_on_compute_canada_clusters|checkpointing manual]], which contains notes from a Calcul Québec workshop.

 So don't worry too much about this.
+====== I would like to receive an e-mail when my jobs are done ======
+You can use the ''-m'' and ''-M'' switches in your script header. Example:
+<code>
+...
+#PBS -m abe
+#PBS -M your.email@address.here
+...
+</code>
+The ''-m abe'' option instructs the scheduler to send you and e-mail when your jobs start (b), finish (e) or abort due to an error (a). You can select any combination of the possible options.
