[Modules] R: Problem with modulerc usage

[Nigro, F. <fr...@fe...>]

I'm using the (maybe old) C version, so I'm not sure if my answer can really help...

anyway, the modulefiles are written in tcl with some "special" directives, as the magic cookie, '#%Module';
modules is build to be shell agnostic, so it souldn't depend on the shell you are using.

I use this commands to determine the platform's dependent variables:
set     hostname        [exec hostname]
set     os              [uname sysname]
set     machine         [uname machine]

you can always exec a specific command using the absolute path, so for example:
setenv MYVAR [exec /usr/bin/something]

Is that what are you looking for?
I hope this helped.

Fry

Oggetto: [Modules] Problem with modulerc usage
 
I'm a new user/admin of a modules setup. We're using the pure TCL
version here, just pulled from sourceforge cvs.

I'm trying to arrange for a local sysadmin tool to be used to determine
which "platform" of modulefiles should be used on the current machine.
(Think of whatami as uname on steroids)

My basic question is - which language - shell or TCL is that file
supposed to be in?

I thought it was tcl, but when I use
set platform [exec whatami]
in that file, the shell (in my case zsh) ends up sourceing it.

Switching to shell syntax, I get errors from modulecmd.tcl itself.

Or am I completely misunderstanding how/where that file is used?
