## Frequently Asked Questions

### Q: I don't receive any email notifications about my job despite having supplied --mail-type and --mail-user, what gives?
A: This most frequently due to users providing only their username, and not the following domain in their SBATCH directive.
You **need** to provide your email as `[email protected]` for emails to be sent correctly. In more rare cases, the queue
for emails can be filled by an individual user by submitting many jobs. This should eventually be resolved on its own,
but it can be avoided by using proper etiquette when submitting a large quantity of jobs, and removing the email
notification directive for all/many of the submissions and monitoring more interactively with `squeue`.

### Q: Where can I find more specific examples of these batch scripts?
A: Example Jobs utilizing commonly loaded modules can be found in `/ihome/crc/how_to_run`
