This saga example implements as imple shell, which can, accoriding to the SAGA philosophy, be used in a variety of environments. The following commands are available: // namespace related # pwd # cd # ls # cp # mv # rm # ln # mkdir # rmdir // file related # cat // logical file related # log_find [ ...] # log_list # log_add # log_remove # log_update # log_replicate // job related # run # ps # suspend # resume # kill # status // shell internals # set # help # exit The initial values for starting directory and default job manager are set as environment variable. Below are the default: setenv SAGA_SHELL_ROOT file://localhost//tmp setenv SAGA_SHELL_CONTACT fork://localhost/ The file env_local.csh sets these defaults, the file env_globus.csh shows an example of Globus settings. Sourcing these files before running the shell shows nicel that SAGA-A is adaptive to the environment.
