NOTE: This is only permitted for the experiment that currently has beam. You can get an interactive session using one of the nodes in psnehhiprioq/psfehhiprioq by executing the following from a psana node:
bsub -q psnehhiprioq -n 16 -Is /bin/tcsh
(or use, psfehhiprioq if you are doing an experiment in the far-experimental-hall, and use /bin/bash if you use bash as your unix shell). Note that the above option is "Is" (capital-eye-esss) not "ls" (ell-ess).
One caveat: X11 graphics don't work in this mode (e.g. matplotlib). To get X11 graphics, do the above command (to reserve the node), then "ssh psanaXXXX" (from pslogin or psana) on another window.
