Re: [Modules] [EXTERNAL] Re: modules on different Linux distros with shared NFS home directories

I just realized that I didn't explain my problem very well. I'm looking for how to split each user's automatically-loaded modules for each OS. In other words, if I run "module initadd foo" on Ubuntu then the foo module will be automatically loaded on Ubuntu, but not RHEL.


So if I understand correctly, you have 2 sets of modules that differ depending on the OS. So having module load foo in the configuration file would work on ubuntu and an error on RHEL or something along those lines.

Maybe write the module itself so it adjusts to the platform you’re on? Something like this:

switch $env(DISTRO) {
  ubuntu {
  # do something
  }
  rhel {
  # do something else
  }
default {
# unknown system
  }
}

Objet : [Modules] modules on different Linux distros with shared NFS home directories

I want to start using modules in our Linux environment. I support both RHEL and Ubuntu machines that use the same shared NFS path for each user's home directory. Is there a way for me to override the ~/.modules path to make it something like ~/.modules-$DISTRO ? I would prefer to not modify the core modulecmd.tcl file. I tried using trace commands in my site config, but I can't seem to trace the cmdModuleInit procedure to override things.

You should be able to change MODULEPATH environment variable.
export MODULEPATH=~/modulefiles:/home/modules/modulefiles-$DISTRO
