Katana OnDemand

There are a number of GUI based software packages that are offered through a web interface. The requirements are a Katana account and for the user to be either on campus or connected to the UNSW VPN.

These can be accessed from https://kod.restech.unsw.edu.au

After logging in, you can:

• Access your /home/, /srv/scratch/ and any project files from the Files menu. While you can upload files through this interface, please don't upload anything larger than about 10MB.

• See your active jobs in a web based view of the traditional qstat command

Installed interactive apps are availble in a drop-down list
