Can my group use scripts.mit.edu or sql.mit.edu with our Athena locker?
Yes! All scripts.mit.edu services support both groups and individual users. Any administrator of your Athena locker can act on behalf of your group. The quick-start installer system may be a good way of getting started.
If you need to ssh to scripts.mit.edu in order to run commands on behalf of a group locker, you should do so using the special instructions provided on our ssh documentation page.
You can signup for a MySQL account at sql.mit.edu with the commands:
athena% add scripts
athena% signup-sql
The installer will give you the option of signing up on behalf of a locker. You can then read your password from /mit/locker/.sql/my.cnf. You can use this to log in to sql.mit.edu under the “SQL Password” option. You will need to create and drop databases from sql.mit.edu, but you can do all other operations from any MySQL client. We recommend using phpMyAdmin.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact scripts@mit.edu.
