For troubleshooting, please contact us through the official channels. See [Contact](/merlin6/contact.html)
for more information.
## Known Problems
Before contacting us for support, please check the **[Merlin6 Support: Known Problems](/merlin6/known-problems.html)** page to see if there is an existing
workaround for your specific problem.
## Troubleshooting Slurm Jobs
If you want to report a problem or request for help when running jobs, please **always provide**
the following information:
1. Provide your batch script or, alternatively, the path to your batch script.
2. Add **always** the following commands to your batch script
```bash
echo "User information:"; who am i
echo "Running hostname:"; hostname
echo "Current location:"; pwd
echo "User environment:"; env
echo "List of PModules:"; module list
```
3. Whenever possible, provide the Slurm JobID.
Providing this information is **extremely important** in order to ease debugging, otherwise
only with the description of the issue or just the error message is completely insufficient
in most cases.
## Troubleshooting SSH
Use the ssh command with the "-vvv" option and copy and paste (no screenshots please)
the output to your request in Service-Now. Example
```bash
ssh -Y -vvv $username@merlin-l-01.psi.ch
```
