Abstract

Although the new server operates under a root mode, the actural data management can be executed under a user mode. To enable this, it is essential to configure paths to the executive scripts. This configuration is to be explained.

[Step 1] Checks on basic matters

It is assumed that the path for executive files ( path) and the path for xl scripts ( XLPATH) are set already by ver.A.,

for "PATH", re-set a path to "/usr/local/xl-gbs/xlscript/bin". In this directory, verious GB scripts are saved.
For "XLPATH", delete this. The scripts of ver.B. are designed to refer "/.xlrc".

when aboves are set, the geographical information dissemination processes conducted under ver.A., will be also conductable under ver.B.

[Step 2] in case of csh

Become a corresponding user mode.

In ".cshrc" and ".login",


setenv PATH /usr/local/xl-gbs/xlscript/bin:$PATH

such a line exists? Or, does a "setenv PATH", which includes "/usr/local/xl-gbs/xlscript/bin" exist? If not, add the path. And


setenv XLPATH ....

if such a line is found, delete it.

Finally,


% source ~/.cshrc
% source ~/.login

execute above to make shell changes effective.

[Step 3] in case of bash

Become a corresponding user mode.

In ".bash_profile",


PATH=/usr/local/xl-gbs/xlscript/bin:$PATH
export PATH

are there above two lines present? Or, "PATH=" with "/usr/local/xl-gbs/xlscript/bin" exists? If not, add these. And,


XLPATH=.....
export XLPATH

if above a line exists, delete this.

Finally,


$ source ~/.cshrc
$ source ~/.login

execute above to make shell changes effective.

[Step 4] Last check

In either shell, when the "xl" command is executed as a final check, and the following result comes out, the shell is correctly modified.


$ xl
too few arguments
$
