Checking Your Remaining Block Time
The block account is a declining balance of hours with a 3 month term. At less then 5 hours left in a block a user will be
notified by email on how to renew their hours. However, should a user wish to find the balance of time left on a block simple follow the following steps:
1. Logging in to the server
For security purposes, niagara.com no longer supports "telnet". Please use a ssh client instead. Several free ssh clients are available, such as
Putty. You must be logged in our local niagara.com dialup or DSL. Connect to "chardonnay.niagara.com". Enter your username and password, remembering that CaSe MaTTeRs.
2. Checking your Time.
Once connected and logged into the main Niagara.com server. You should be prompted by chardonnay x% where the x is some number corresponding to the number of command lines entered. Simply ignore the number. At the chardonnay x% prompt type timeleft and the
n press Enter. This will then display the about of time remaining in your current block.
Once you have completed your task please remember to disconnect from the main server by typing logout.
