| Login to pt1 | This is the observer's workstation in the SDSS control room. All observers should use their own computer accounts. |
| Start an 8-bit X windows session | Most people do this:
pt1% startx -- -depth 8 If you relace the 8 with a 32, you'll get more colors (Netscape looks better, for example) but 8-bit astronomical display software (saoDisplay, ximtool, etc.) won't work (but ds9 does). |
| Login to sdssmth | Start a couple of xterm sessions.
Login to sdssmth using ssh:
pt1% ssh sdssmth If you don't have an sdssmth login account, use the "observer" account with ssh:pt1% ssh observer@sdssmth |
| Checkout or update the ptlog. | From your home directory on sdssmth,
check out or update the ptlog:
sdssmth% setup sdsscvs (if this isn't in your .cshrc
file) |
