Subject: multi-user Configuration Setup
X-Lines: 70ask each user to do the following:
install -d ~/grass/data # or something appropriate
cd ~/grass/data
foreach location (/mcae/grass.data/*)
if (-d $location) then
mkdir $location
cd $location
foreach mapset ($location/*)
if (-d $mapset) ln -s $mapset
end
cd ..
endif
endThen, when they run grass, have them put their own directory
name when it asks for a DATABASE (e.g. /home/icil64/joe_user/grass/data).The set of csh commands given above untested, but I think that you
can get the jist of what's going on. Try it out, package it up in a
shell script, and have each new grass user run it (maybe you could
even put a hook in GIS.sh to check for the existence of ~/.grassrc
to do this... oh, one is already there. just modify it:| if [ ! -f $GISRC ]
| then
set_up_stuff_for_icil64.csh # make users use their home dir for data
| cat $ETC/gis_intro
| echo ""
| echo "Hit RETURN to continue"
| read ans
| fi
