Folks, the operator account setup was changed. The purpose of
the changes is to make the environment as self sufficient as
possible.
Here is the description of the operator account setup:
1) only the "tcsh" shell is supported. All bash related setup files
(.bashrc and the ilk) have been removed.
2) .login is an empty file to avoid "login shell vs non-login shell"
unix nonsense.
3) all setup is done in .cshrc
4) brahms_login.csh is no longer used and has been deleted. Since the
operator account cannot use the standard login file, it is best
to keep everything in one place, so all BRAHMS-specific setups
were moved to .cshrc.
5) the BRAHMS setup in .cshrc is as follows:
- ROOTSYS is set to a local copy of ROOT: $HOME/root. This
is a copy of /opt/brahms/root/pro/linux, with some cleanup
(see my other email).
- BRATSYS and BRATHOME (are these two redundant?)
are set to $HOME/brat, a local checkout copy of BRAT.
- BRAHMS_ARCH is set to: linux
- CVSROOT is set to it's normal place in CVS.
6) PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH are setup to the "right" places
in ROOTSYS and BRATSYS, plus the additional entries
for ntuple and VertexNtuple.
These settings make the operator account environment and BRAT/ROOT
applications built in this environment (i.e. BRAHVO) immune to
at least AFS outages. Some more work still needs to be done to make
it immune from pii3 outages.
