rohan%  sas

If you are remotely accessing Rohan from another Unix computer, you should use ssh to connect to Rohan. The ssh (Secure Shell) program will set your DISPLAY variable so graphics can be viewed. Telnet and rsh will not.

If you can not use ssh, you must reset the DISPLAY variable on the remote machine to that of the machine you are logged onto. See the X Windows page for more information.

To run sas without Xwindows, at the ROHAN prompt type:

rohan%  sas -nodms

Please reduce the priority of long running sas jobs by using either the batch or the nice command. This greatly improves the response of the system while your job is running.
