... but you can call your pros and funs as usual (as long as you make
sure to have the !PATH variable set correctly). Here's an example shell
script that I use to iterate model results:
(1) shell script:
#!/bin/csh
# shell script for remote IDL calls
# called as ridl <programname>
# program must be "main", i.e. no pro or function statement
echo shell script for remote IDL calls
# set environment variables
setenv IDL_DIR /usr/local/lib/rsi/idl_5.1
setenv IDL_PATH \+$IDL_DIR/lib:\+$IDL_DIR/examples
setenv IDL_DEVICE null
setenv IDL_STARTUP ~mgs/IDL/idl_startup.pro
alias idl $IDL_DIR/bin/idl
alias idltool $IDL_DIR/bin/idltool
alias idlhelp $IDL_DIR/bin/idlhelp
alias idldemo $IDL_DIR/bin/idldemo
# call IDL with all parameters
cd IDL/chem1d
echo starting IDL ...
idl $*
