Wikimedia Labs/Tool Labs/Rules

As part of the Wikimedia Labs, Tool Labs is subject to the general Labs Terms of Use, and is governed by the following additional rules:


 * 1) Do not use your personal account for noninteractive use:
 * Any process intended to keep running while you are not actively interacting with it (e.g., through a detached  session, in the background, or though  ) must be run through a tool account, and not your personally account.
 * 1) Do not run noninteractive processes on the bastion servers:
 * Likewise, any process meant to execute without direct interaction should be submitted to the grid (through, for instance) and not run on the login hosts.  It is permissible to use   for lightweight processes (such as submitting a job, or rotating logs) but cron should not be used for anything that runs for more than a few seconds or consumes large amounts of resources.
