Core Competition
I was hoping it would be a little longer before everyone else at work figured out that this particular machine was underused. At the moment pictured there was still one core per significant process, but you can see two of use eyeing each other via top.
Unfortunately, I lost my claim about three minutes later when I was betrayed by my own router, which disconnected me, killing my process. I'll be back, though, and this time I'll be using nohup.
P.S. When trying to use ssh to execute multiple commands on another machine, don't do this:
ssh somebody@somewhere cmd1 ; cmd2
That will execute cmd1 on the remote machine, then come back and run cmd2 on your current machine. You need to quote it so that it will be treated as a single argument.
ssh somebody@somewhere 'cmd1 ; cmd2'
Maybe that's obvious to most people, but it sure had me baffled for about 15 minutes there.
