Setting
MCPATH
You
can set MCPATH in two ways:
- let the McIDAS-X
start-up script set the value
- set MCPATH's
value before starting McIDAS-X
If you do not
define MCPATH, the McIDAS-X start-up
script sets MCPATH to the value
below.
$HOME/mcidas/data:$HOME/mcidas/help:~mcidas/data:~mcidas/help
|
To change MCPATH's
value, exit McIDAS-X, set MCPATH to
the new value, and restart McIDAS-X. Run a
Unix command (substitute the equivalent if using C shell) similar to the one below to explicitly set MCPATH.
export MCPATH; MCPATH=$HOME/data:$HOME/mcidas/data:~mcidas/data:~mcidas/help
|
To set this value
of MCPATH each time you log on
to your account, add the command above to your $HOME/.mcenv file
and add the following line to your $HOME/.profile file.
When you start
McIDAS-X, the temporary directory created, for example, $HOME/.mctmp/356052,
is appended to the MCPATH value,
whether the McIDAS-X start-up script sets MCPATH or
you set its value.
