Site Accommodations

Some sites, like NERSC, create links in $HOME that point to system-wide startup files that cannot be modified by the user. Users are provided identically-named startup files with an “.ext” suffix.

If your site uses this mechanism, check the sites variable list inside the mkmod code to see if your site has provided an extension. If not, set the suffix in the MKMOD_STARTUP_FILE_SUFFIX variable before installing or executing mkmod.

Or: Add the site name (lower case) to the sites list, add the suffix to the corresponding position in the site_suffixes list, and add the site domain name to the site_domains list. (It is expected that the site name appears in the domain name from the hostname -d command.) Make a git pull request, or send the information to the mkmod author with mkmod in the subject.
