Can i use mosh to connect to the cluster?

MOSH is meant for mobile connections over ssh.  It is a userspace tool that uses ssh as its transport layer.  It is helpful for intermittent or unreliable connections.

We have installed mosh on the cluster, but to use it you will need to add it to your path.  Since it needs to be called when you first log into the cluster, you will need to add it to you .bashrc or equivalent file for your shell.  Add the following to that file to be able to use mosh:


module load mosh/1.3.2
