Initialization macro
2009-06-01 17:16:27
Hi,

I am trying to run an initialization macro as sac starts up.
I have created an init.m macro file in the /sac/macro directory and I
am able to run it from within sac by executing the following two
commands:

SETMACRO sac/macro
MACRO init.m

I tried aliasing sac like this:

alias sac='sac sac/macro/init.m'

but it doesn't work and I don't think that it should but this is what
it says to do in the README file for SAC so I tried.

How do I make something run as I call up sac?

Thanks

Shahar

    In the README file, the absolute path is set for the init.m file. Try using the
    absolute path and see if it finds your init.m.

    Do you have a directory ${SACHOME}/macro? If so, try

    alias sac '${SACHOME}/sac ${SACHOME}/macro/init.m'

    I think your 'SETMACRO sac/macro' command requires that SAC is already running
    before it will be recognized.

      In my case the alias works, but I take care to specify the *complete*
      address of the macro. I use tcsh:

      alias sac '/usr/local/sac/bin/sac /Users/guust/.sacrc'

    Hi Shahar,

    You may try:
    alias sac 'sac m sac/macro/init.m'

    see if it works.
