If you're manipulating files stored on a remote machine, such as ARCUS or ARCHER supercomputers, you can mount the remote file system and interact with the files as if they were stored on your own machine. This makes viewing, editing, and opening files in software on your computer a breeze.

To do this on OSX, first ensure you have homebrew installed. If brew is not recognised in Terminal, run

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"

	start on runlevel [2345]
	stop on runlevel [016]

	respawn
	setuid <user>
	chdir /home/<user>/ipython_notebooks
	exec ipython notebook --pylab --profile=nbserver --ipython-dir=/home/<user>/.ipython --log-level=DEBUG

	#! /bin/env python
	#
	# USAGE
	# $ python ad_utils.py "My Group Name"
