These parameters are not dependent on CorteXlab but rather on the user's code. In this particular case they're almost self-explanatory, but let's go over them anyway:+

 This will run a 30 minute job and open a subshell in which you can run minus tasks. This subshell will be killed after 30 minutes, and if you leave the shell earlier, it will terminate the corresponding oar job. More documentation on oar can be found [[reserve|here]]. You can also monitor the current jobs in the [gantt web interface](http://xp.cortexlab.fr/drawgantt/). This will run a 30 minute job and open a subshell in which you can run minus tasks.
