Online and Offline environment (DPM & MLP)
- We want to arrive at a state where the user can run his or her programs in RCF and the Counting house without re-linking.
- We give the “general login script” another shot
- several failures to get that in the past years
- stop the proliferation of account-specific “do-it-all” .login files which are hard to maintain
- source one script which sets up the environment for you, anywhere (*)
- centrally maintained, changes picked up by everyone right away, no more stale paths
- allow a standard Redhat Linux box without root access (but with afs) to use this
- in the counting house we will use local copies of most software, no hard dependence on AFS
- script will adapt to local software, use AFS distribution else
- after executing that script, you should be able to run the analysis software no matter where you are.
(*) we concentrate on Linux and Solaris for now
