Beta OSCusage Command

We invite OSC clients to beta-test our new OSCusage command, which offers clients additional capabilities and data on usage. The command is available on all systems at /opt/osc/libexec/OSCusage. Please note this is currently in test mode and, hence, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of all the data it is reporting. Please contact OSC Help if you have any questions or find any issues with this command.

Matlab Distributed Computing Server (MDCS) is no longer available.

The major purpose of this feature was to allow users to use their local licenses that OSC didn't provide.
