Adding
setenv IDL_PATH "<IDL_DEFAULT>:+$HOME/IDL/Procedures"to your
.cshrc
file (in your home directory) will let it find any .pro in any subdirectory of HOME/IDL/Procedures. You can then have many subdirectories of similar IDL programs.
Note for changes to your .cshrc to work, you need to do source .cshrc
.
Also useful to know that /usr/local/bin/lmutil lmstat -c 27000@see-lm-01 -S idl_lmgrd
in UNIX lists who is using IDL -- useful when we run out of licences.
I have an alias to this in my .cshrc
alias whoidl '/usr/local/bin/lmutil lmstat -c 27000@see-lm-01 -S idl_lmgrd'
Note vi, emacs etc will all highlight IDL code in colour.
