+This page contains initial info for your assignment as virtual Lab Monitors (referred as LMs).
+\\
+LM Duty
+Lab Monitor is first point of contact in EECS technical services.
+As such, LMs help students with all EECS computing related issues.
+This does not include helping them with assignments or course-related programming questions.
+If LMs do not know the answer to any inquiry/question, they email to tech@eecs.yorku.ca
+and copy monitors@eecs.yorku.ca to inform the team of LMs.
+LMs are familiar with the EECS Linux platform in the teaching labs: CentOS, which is the community version of Red Hat.
+Email
+monitors@eecs.yorku.ca contains email addresses of LMs individual email addresses.
+This mail list can be used for any shift swaps or other communication as needed.
+LM Shifts
+Lab operating hours will be respected with utmost care.
+LMs review the weekly shifts prior the week, to prevent any delays.
+If the LM is late for their shift, they email tech@eecs.yorku.ca to inform the tech staff when they expect to start their shift.
+Swapping of LM shifts are allowed.
+It is the LM’s responsibility to find a replacement LM in cases they are unable to attend their shift and notify the tech staff.
+Refer to Contact information sheet for phone/email details.
+This provides an uninterrupted technical service to our community.
+Login
+You will continue using your EECS student accounts to do your LM duties.
+Virtual LM (Zoom account)
+During the pandemic of COVID-19, the Fall 2020 term is offered in remote teaching mode.
+LMs use “eecstech” Zoom account to communicate with the students.
+LMs and users join the meeting ID: https://yorku.zoom.us/my/eecstech
+LMs use their employee PPY account login to connect to Zoom (login with SSID).
+LMs make themselves available continuously for the duration of their shift.
+Breaks for lunch or other needs should be handled before or after shifts.
+If necessary, there could be one maximum 10 minute break during which a sign can be posted.
+Ex. change your profile pic to a 10 min break sign.
+LMs are co-host in eecstech Zoom account.
+For the ability to move participants in and out of Breakout Rooms, the LM has to be the host.
+Each LM has to assign the LM following their shift as the host.
+For this reason, LMs should join the Zoom meetings on time.
+If there is a technical issue causing a delay to start on time,  please inform your fellow LM.
+It is against the policy to make a non-LM participant the host of eecstech Zoom meeting.
+Start of Shift (Zoom account)
+LMs identifies themselves by renaming their Zoom thumbnail pictures as "Lab Monitor”.
+End of shift activity
+LM fills-in the Zoom activity sheet (for now in Google as some LMs do not have an employee account yet).
+LM reminds the participants that the end time of Zoom meeting, 15 minutes prior to signing off for the day.

+EECS accounts and login
+Undergraduate students who are registered to 2nd, 3rd or 4th level courses are eligible to an EECS
+computing account during their studies. They obtain this at https://webapp.eecs.yorku.ca/activ8
+AFTER 20 minute of wait period to allow for password to propagate, student can login to
+https://remotelab.eecs.yorku.ca and choose a host to work on.
+Details are in https://wiki.eecs.yorku.ca/dept/tdb/login:remotelabs-tips:start
+Few EECS account related commands (login to red.eecs.yorku.ca)
+- Command for looking-up account name in case they forgot : grep -i lastnameofstudent /etc/passwd
+The usernames are the same as PPY account name.
+- Reset EECS password via any web browser at https://webapp.eecs.yorku.ca/activ8
+PPY password and EECS passwords are not linked.
+- EECS account quota command: quota -v
+Undergraduate students are allotted 1GB disk space to save their files.
+jdiskreport command shows more detailed info on space utilization.
+To delete files, the command to use: rm filename
+To list files, the command to use: ls -lt  (or for hidden files ls -lta) t option sorts the files from recent to old.
+More detailed info can be found at https://wiki.eecs.yorku.ca/dept/tdb/
+(COVID-19 exception = 1st level courses get EECS accounts only for remote lab access)
+Please send your questions to tech@eecs.yorku.ca and copy monitors@eecs.yorku.ca
+as it is important for all of us to be in close contact during these times we are all apart.
