R installation
R-3.4.1 was installed in /usr/local/bin. Rstudio is told to use this version via:
cat /etc/rstudio/rserver.conf # Server Configuration File rsession-which-r=/usr/local/bin/R
Administration
The executable is rstudio-server. Documentation is available but for the professional version, whihc nonetheless may be useful (see the links section).
There is no manpage, but there is this very concise help which nonethless is useful:
root@biotime:/etc/rstudio# rstudio-server --help
$Usage: rstudio-server {status|start|stop|restart|test-config|verify-installation|suspend-session|suspend-all|force-suspend-session|force-suspend-all|kill-session|kill-all|offline|online|active-sessions|version}
For example to kill a certain session, first find out the PID
rstudio-server active-sessions <PID>
then try and suspend
rstudio-server force-suspend-session <PID>
However, suspend does not sound quite aggressive enough, so
rstudio-server kill-session <PID>
Will probably do a better job.
Hanging user sessions
As well as killing the session, getting rid of the following file
~/.rstudio/suspended-session/environment
which can often be quite big, will cure the hanging. There is a link to this post in the links section.
Memory-style errors
These used to happen quite often with marvin.

Vital machine details
- Remote control (DRAC/IPMI) ip: 138.251.13.226 (simply type as URL in browser. Note there may be security warnings from modern browsers: carry on regardless).
- User: root
- Password, the same as IPMI for marvin (obviously cannot write that here).
- Some basic functions are available on DRAC, such as power on and power cycle, but Remote Console is the most interesting.
- DRAC can also load an live Linux iso from your local computer and boot it instead of the resident OS
- Remote console is a JNLP program (java) which can be downloaded and run with the latest version of javaws. Or, the browser may launch it automatically
- Remote console will allow you login using the password.
- when updating and rebooting this machine has a tendency (albeit a rare one) to hang at BIOS: simply try rebooting.
