KAGRA VIS Operations Manual - Info on cdscfg utilities

Back to Operation Manual main page

Note: needs major edit - stuff at KAGRA does not seem to be in the LIGO places

The directory /ligo/cdscfg contains utilities to set up a standard environment in several shells and programming environments including bash, csh, Perl and TCL. These are documented further in T1000379

Site/IFO Values

The directories /ligo/cdscfg/site and /ligo/cdscfg/ifo (on some of the front ends it is /opt/cdscfg/site etc) should each contain single files whose names specify the site and interferometer according to the following table:
