Improved way to launch interactive jobs

We’ve changed the recommended way to launch an interactive job on a compute node from the terminal interface. Previously, this was done using srun --pty bash -l. We now recommend using salloc, which makes it possible to launch parallel MPI jobs with srun or mpirun from within the interactive session. All related documentation has been updated accordingly, see the section on Interactive jobs for details.
