ABABUS Startup Instructions by Nilanga Liyanage

Getting started:

1) Send an email to Wolfgang Wander at wwc@mit.edu to get yourself
   into the "nig" (Nuclear Interactions Group) user group
2) The nig work area is /data11/nig/.  Change to this directory and
   create a subdirectory
3) The first time you start working on ABACUS, type "newgrp nig"

Running ESPACE:

1) Run my executable (standard v2.5)
   /data11/nig/nilanga/espace_n/bin//OSF1//espace
2) Copy my sample ana.kumac file from
   /data11/nig/nilanga/espace/89003/ana.kumac
   (Notice that you have to give *explicit* paths for both the
   input and output files)
3) Copy the sample 1253.qsub file from the same directory

Data file extraction:

1) Copy the datafiles to /data11/nig/data/
2) Extract data files from the silo using the PERL script
   ~nilanga/bin/get_file [run_number]
   run from /data11/nig/data/
3) Be patient, it takes a few minutes. The file automatically
   goes to /data11/nig/data/ 

To submit a job:

1) We have two queues:  nig (cpu limit 1 day) and nig_short
   (cpu limit 30 minutes).
2) Edit 1253.qsub to match your needs, and then give the command:
   qsub -q nig 1253.qsub

To compile your own version of ESPACE:

1) See the instructions at
   http://www.cebaf.gov/Hall-A/data_reduc/calibrations/software.html
2) In addition, change your .login file by adding the line
   setenv PERL5LIB /application/lib/perl5:/application/lib/perl5/alpha-dec_osf
3) There is a copy of sfmakedepend at ~nilanga/bin/.  Change the line in
   the Makefile from export SF_DIR = /home/rom/bin/ to
   export SF_DIR = /ralph2/users2/nilanga/bin/.  Or, copy sfmakedepend
   to your bin.  Make sure that the top line is:
   #!/application/bin/perl
