G'day, all. I've set up modulefiles for all of the CAD applications in use at my company, and I've set up a couple of modulefiles for two separate projects that load the correct versions of applications for that project. I want users to be able to switch between two (or any number of) projects and have any interactive changes they may have made to approved versions not mess up the module unload (or switch). For instance, say I do a % module load Projects/proj1 which in turn loads up modules for Synopsys/1999.05, VCS/5.0 and Apollo/3.3.0.EA9. But I'm evaluating Synopsys/1999.10 on this project, so I % module switch Synopsys/1999.05 Synopsys/1999.10 Okay, so far so good. But now I want to load up another project, so I do a % module switch Projects/proj1 Projects/proj2 and I get an error because proj1 wants to unload Synopsys/1999.05 but I've secretly replaced this version since proj1 was loaded. What's the correct way to manage this sort of situation? It is very real-world but I may be approaching it incorrectly. I do know that I want the user to not worry about what they may have done interactively and I don't want them to have to effectively do a % module purge (or clear) % module load dot GNU system admin user local % module load X11 CDE % module load Projects/proj2 even by hiding this away in another modulefile. I then looked for a mechanism to figure out if a particular module was loaded from inside a modulefile so I could do a "if (exists any_version_of_Synopsys) then module unload Synopsys" but none of the commands seem to support this. Thanks in advance for any assistance on this!
