Re: [Lmod-users] Module path from new install and spider caching

[Trey D. <tre...@ta...>]

I believe update_lmod_system_cache_files reads BASE_MODULEPATH from command
line arguments.  This is the command I use to update my system cache:

/apps/lmod/lmod/libexec/update_lmod_system_cache_files -t
/apps/moduleData/system.txt -d /apps/moduleData/cacheDir /apps/modulefiles/Core
