fly, as it were. It's a powerful mechanism for dynamically changing environment variables, aliases, X11 resources, etc. It uses an embedded Tcl intrepretor, with a few extensions. Therefore, it has a well defined language syntax. Version 3.1 is GPL, and includes many improvements over the 3.0beta.

This directory contains an alternative user set-up.
|
|
This model proposed here is that the core user dot-files
|
|
are owned by the user services with hooks to source
|
|
user specializations, which are made in the accompanying
|
|
.ext files. The user module load is contained within the
|
|
.modules file, which is sourced by all the other shells on login.
|
|
|
|
The add.ext script just enforces this model.
|
|
The skel directory contains the .ext files, and symbolic links to
|
|
the user services .dot files. The user home directory may look
|
|
something like this:
|
|
|
|
lrwxrwxrwx 1 .bashrc -> /usr/common/etc/.kshenv*
|
|
lrwxrwxrwx 1 .cshrc -> /usr/common/etc/.cshrc*
|
|
-rwxr-x--- 1 .cshrc.ext*
|
|
lrwxrwxrwx 1 .profile -> /usr/common/etc/.profile*
|
|
-rwxr-x--- 1 .profile.ext
|
|
lrwxrwxrwx 1 .kshenv -> /usr/common/etc/.kshenv*
|
|
-rwxr-x--- 1 .kshenv.ext*
|
|
lrwxrwxrwx 1 .login -> /usr/common/etc/.login*
|
|
-rwxr-x--- 1 .login.ext
|
|
|
|
The user skeleton dot-files are in ./skel
|
|
The common user services supported dot-files are in ./common
|
|
The global shell login files are in ../etc/global
|
|
along with the module set-up files.
|
|
|
|
If you intend to use this model, then add the --with-dot-ext
|
|
option, with an appropriate value, during the configure set-up.
