One of my users, bless his heart, has requested I install a tool he called "modules". That's all he's been able to describe it to me as in terms of name. Apparently, it's a program that allows users to load or unload grouped sets of environment variables.
Does anyone have this tool, know what it's called, who's developing it, etc? Yes, I know, horribly, terribly vague software description. Here's the context, which may help identify it. We've got a clustered processing environment with 120 dual-quad nodes running a variety of SL 4.x and 5.x with job control via Torque & Moab. We've got three different compilers with multiple versions each, a variety of implementations of MPI, etc. So a tool such as this would be useful for my users. Now the MPI selection is easily handled with mpi-selector. I could probably (easily) enlist that tool for environment selection. However, I'd like to see if I can find someone using the tool my user requested. TIA for any thoughts on the matter. -John --- John Reddy Technology Architect Information Technology Division - Unix Services Brookhaven National Laboratory [email protected] - 631-344-3284
