Update Examples Script

As new software is installed, and system updates occur, the examples for submitting jobs and compiling programs are changed and improved. To make it easy to get a copy of the latest examples, the update-examples script is used.

Script Options

¹Long form options are prefixed with --; ²Short form options are prefixed with -.

Long form1	Short form2	Option type	Required?	Description
	d	string	No	Directory to save current examples. The examples will be saved to a subdirectory of the directory specified here. (Default: $HOME/examples)
	h		No

The update-examples script will accept a few options, shown in the table above.

Using the Script

The most common way to use update-examples is to simply run the script with no options, like:

user $update-examples

Examples for submitting jobs on Magnolia Cluster
================================================

1) lammps - LAMMPS

3) MPI - Compiling MPI programs

4) CUDA - Compiling CUDA programs

5) Molpro - Molpro Quantum Chemistry

See the README.txt file inside each directory for instructions on
how to run the examples (e.g., cat README.txt).

New examples saved to /home/user/examples/20171023-153349.

The script will show a short message about the current examples. By default, the new examples will be saved in a directory with a date-time format of YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS. The location of the new examples is shown in the last line of the output. To see the contents of the new directory, use the ls command:

user $ls /home/user/examples/20171023-153349
