HEPiX Shells Scripts - Tools

This page describes the different tools that are used by the HEPiX Shell Scripts. %index


Note: all these tools can be found by default under /usr/local/lib/hepix/shells/tools except:

%%is_hepix%%

This tests if a user should run or not the %h. It is meant to be used both by the shells and the X11 parts of the %h. The algorithm is:

%%GroupName%%

Located at /usr/local/lib/hepix/tools

Returns the group-name of the user. A user can specify a group name via $HOME/.hepix/preferred-group

%%tklife%%

Located at /usr/local/lib/hepix/tools

Called by the periodic commands of the shells (tcsh, zsh) in order to warn the user if his AFS/Kerberos token is going to expire.

%%quota-warn%%

Located at /usr/local/lib/hepix/tools

This commands tells you, the user, if you are "exceeding" your "disk space" quota limit. In order to have a feeling you can try:

	/usr/local/lib/hepix/quota-warn 10
Which means that if your quota will exceed 10%, you will get a message.

You can use this command in the LOGIN part of your login dot files (.profile, .zprofile, .login, etc.).
