Stopping a BioDesk Session

A BioDesk session can be left running; the user can connect and disconnect as needed. However, running a BioDesk session does consume a lot of system resources.

In order to maintain performance for all users, any session idle for more than 72 hours will be automatically terminated!

You will recieve an automated email message when your session has been terminated.

Terminating a BioDesk session will not stop any GCG/SeqLab jobs that are running, but any work in progress on the desktop will be lost.

A BioDesk session can be terminated manually by clicking on the 'EXIT' button on the BioDesk Taskbar.

To disconnect (not terminate) from a session, simply close the viewer application on your machine (do not click on 'EXIT' from the Taksbar).

You can then reconnect at a later time and/or from another location.
