 ===== Long process termination =====
-Since 2025-10-24, we automatically kill misbehaving processes that have been running for too long and using too many resources on the login, interactive, and interactive GPU nodes. This is to prevent one or a few users from occupying resources that are only meant for short tests, which then prevents other users from executing legitimate tasks on these nodes. This, in addition to the periodic rebooting of these nodes, ensures that the resources are available in good order for all users.
+Since 2025-10-24, we automatically kill misbehaving processes that have been running for too long and using too many resources on the login, interactive, and interactive GPU nodes. Certain processes that are expected to run for a long time are allowed (for example, ssh sessions). This is to prevent one or a few users from occupying resources that are only meant for short tests, which then prevents other users from executing legitimate tasks on these nodes. This, in addition to the periodic rebooting of these nodes, ensures that the resources are available in good order for all users.
 ===== Periodic reboots =====
 In order to prevent the login/interactive nodes from being filled up with temporary files and long-running processes, these nodes are rebooted every other week on Monday morning at 6:00 CE(S)T. The odd-numbered nodes (''login1'', ''interactive1'', ''gpu1'') are rebooted in odd weeks, and the even-numbered nodes (''login2'', ''interactive2'', ''gpu2'') are rebooted in even weeks.
