  3. source /cs/master.login - runs script
  4. setenv SSW /solsoft/solarsoft - sets SSW environment variable
  5. alias cidl /home/master/scripts/cidl - sets cidl alias

/home/master/scripts/cidl

It is set in the .cshrc file.

CDS Site Login (/home/master/site/site.login)

What calls this script?

Calls by

This script is the RAL site-specific login script. This script is run from the general CDS login script, usually found in /cs/cds.login Certain environment variables are forced to vary from site to site, either because they refer to specific resources such as printers, or because they point to very large data directories. A site-specific script such as this one can be used to define these variables. In order for this script to be run, the environment variable CDS_SITE_LOGIN must point to it.
