I should also point out that the ENVS.bash script sources epicsenv-3.15.5-1.0.bash.

ENVS.bash should only be run once from your .bashrc to avoid bloating your env path variables.

@Bruce, can you add some logic to prevent the path from getting bloated?

epicsenv-3.15.5-1.0.bash and it's variants for other base versions can be run as needed
to setup or switch your EPICS environment.

>>>>>>
Nice,
Can we switch between different version of base versions and not worry about
env path variable bloat?

Cheers,

Hi Sonya,
Will the user's servers have access to the same NFS filesystem?
If so, they should be able to source this file for EPICS setup.
source /usr/local/lcls/epics/setup/epicsenv-3.15.5-1.0.bash

Please note that this script only sets up EPICS related environment.
For physics, matlab, python, etc, they should
source /usr/local/lcls/tools/script/ENVS.bash

Hugo, Bruce, Patrick,

Which EPICS setup file (path+filename) should the user servers use to pick up our EPICS environment variables, etc.?

Thanks,
  Sonya

Ive brought it uo before, but apparently in the wrong SLAC circle.  r/w we can easily sort out.

If there's a setup file we can source, we're golden.

Hi Wesley,

Yes, thanks for bringing this up. We'll need to figure this out. I had not
realized until last week that the users would not be logged into the same
servers that we are using.

I am currently logged into lcls01 and I seem to have read-only access to
the LCLS-II/LERF file system. The first couple things that come to mind:

1. The users' environments will need to point to our displays, scripts,
programs, etc.

2. Some scripts/programs may try to write files to these read-only areas,
so we may need to handle that.

No write access may be an issue, for example if users need to execute

Sonya, this isn?t directed at you only, but maybe the front-runner for this.

Any updates on running GUIs, etc, as a normal non-laci user?

We don?t want that account to be requirement to run ops.  Users will run from lclsl01-03 and lcls-vdi01-10.
