Setting up
Running IDL programs	IDL must be loaded through a module We should run computationally intensive things on a compute node, not a login node. Where possible we should wrap things into batch jobs that can run without user intervention.
Using VNC	VNC lets us see the graphical output from a remote system. To connect to VNC on Sunbird we need to use an SSH tunnel due to firewall restrictions. The VNC server needs to be started from an SSH session. Programs using the VNC session will keep running when we disconnect.
A Solarsoft IDL example	Use a slurm batch job to run your code on a compute node Copy data back to your own computer with an SCP or SFTP such as Filezilla
