the puts should work with 3.2.12 But yes it will break the unload (it will just redefine the alias). You will have to put in code (that is both 3.2 and 4.8 compatible) to not only check what mode you are in, but also what shell it is producing code for (so you only use the alias command for shells that support it). Then run the puts accordingly (one to define the alias, another to undefine it). If the alias definition works for 3.2.12, you could check what version of modules is calling the module (then use the standard method if it is 3.2.12). It is important to remember that modules work by producing code (with puts) that is output to the shell's eval command. Another "fix" would be to define the alias to source a particular file, and have that file have the commands. Like: set-alias mycommand "source /usr/local/bin/_mysubcommand.csh" Then put the commands in the _mysubcommand.csh file. #!/bin/tcsh bsub -R "select[type==X64LIN && osrel==$osrel]" myapp Note, if bsub does not make any changes in the shell's environment, then the alias could be: set-alias mycommand "/usr/local/bin/_mysubcommand" And _mysubcomand should be executable. Or, you could skip the alias, and put a "mysub" executable in a path that is only available when the module is loaded.
