Re: [Modules] Using linux command in module file

[Patrick B. <Pat...@un...>]

Thank you Laurent for the quick answer. I'm not familiar with tcl 
language and I was not aware of this syntax!
I've juste moved the loading of the required modules in a "prereq-all" 
directive and all is running as expected with your suggestion. So, 
changing a required module update "automagically" the setup.
