Mailing Lists

News and Announcements

We will periodically make important announcements regarding usage policies, software and hardware upgrades, downtime, etc. It is important that you read these messages on a regular basis and we provide several methods for you to do so.

All messages are posted to the system message board and to the B.U. mailing list scfug-l. The system message board can be viewed using the program msgs. By default this command will be included in your .login startup file. If you modify this file, we suggest that you continue to include this command.

The users group mailing list, scfug-l, is used for general discussions regarding the Scientific Computing Facilities, as well distributing important announcements. You may have the posting to the scfug-l delivered directly to you by Email by sending a one line message of the form below to majordomo@bu.edu.
