How to experiment

Privileged commands

Currently, the following commands can be run via sudo in exclusive jobs:

on idfreeze

• sudo /usr/bin/whoami (provided for testing the mechanism, should return "root")
• sudo /sbin/reboot
• sudo /usr/bin/schedtool
• sudo /usr/bin/opcontrol
• sudo /opt/likwid/bin/likwid-perfctr
• sudo /opt/likwid/bin/likwid-topology

System changelog
