    EMERGENCY PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE:
    We will be performing emergency maintenance on the scratch filesystem (holyscratch01) during this window at the request of the vendor.
    This will require the scheduler and all jobs (Cannon and FASSE) to be paused. Jobs will be resumed once the work is completed.**

    FASRC monthly maintenance will take place Monday November 6, 2023 from 7am-11am

    NOTICES

    New training sessions are available.
