Limited Disk Usage
Your EECS account has limited space. The exact limitation is printed on the piece of paper given to you when you created your account. You need to keep a close eye on your disk usage.
The command to monitor disk usage in Linux:
du -h
It will list the usage in each subdirectory with a human readable total at the end. If you used over your limitation, you may not be able to log onto EECS machines. You will need to fill in a help ticket to solve the problem.
Delete Some Unnecessary Files
Your browser history can easily grow into many Metabytes. Use the following linux command to delete it.
rm -rf .mozilla/
Monitor File .xsession-errors
When you first log into Linux, you can run the command:
ls -alh .xsession-errors
If this file is larger than a couple of megabytes then it probably should be deleted.
Stop Running Programs
You can use Ctr c to stop the execution of your program. If Ctr c does not work, you can kill all of your processes by using the following 3 steps:
id <username>
Look at the number that is after "uid=", it is the uid number.
pkill -u <number after the uid>
