I'm interested in running some long-ish scripts that loop through the dump replicas on Toolforge. Eventually, this sort of thing might move to crontab, but for now it would be nice to run a screen session as we test / debug the scripts. The problem is that if I run the scripts from my tool account (i.e. after "become <tool-name>"), I get the following error: Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/28' - please check.
You shouldn't run such script on the bastions.
The grid is the way to go in this case:

Run your script with jsub and it will be scheduled in a grid worker node to run until it finishes.
