Description

SEMC starts to have more than one data storage system as we expand. We want to allow local staff with the same LDAP to collect to the different system depending on the leginon linux computer they log into.

Usage:

Use ${} to enclose the case sensitive variable name in leginon.cfg. For example

If you login as my_name and have an environment variable setup as

CRYOEM_BIG_STORAGE=data01

Then

[Images]
path: /${CRYOEM_BIG_STORAGE}/${USER}/leginon

is parsed as

[Images]
path: /data01/my_name/leginon

The environment variable "CRYOEM_BIG_STORAGE" needs to be set withing "betaleginon" or "nccatleginon".

What changes have to be made for the transfer monitor script?

Anchi's suggestion is to have two different monitoring scripts each monitoring a different directory path (e.g. one for /ingest1data/beegfs another for /ingest1data/gpfs)
