This section applies if you installed Jim on a Linux system. It describes how to tailor the installation for your convenience and to improve the performance of Jim.
On Linux systems, you can start Jim and the stand-alone tools by selecting the application from the start applications menu, sub-menu Jim9.
However, also included in the install directory is a
subdirectory called Unix
, which contains
customisable shell scripts that allow you to customise the way
Jim and the stand-alone tools run. One of these
scripts (called RunTool
) is a master script that contains
comments and instructions on how to change certain settings for
Jim and the stand-alone tools. You may wish to do this:
mv
command to relocate the install
directory, and then reconfigure the RunTool script for this
new location.
RunTool
using your favourite text
editor (having first copied the script to a backup file), and
customise it using the instructions written in the script. Don't
forget to make the scripts in the Unix
directory
executable for all your users:
chmod 755 *
Once you have customised RunTool
, copy it and all the other
scripts in the Unix directory to an executable directory that is in the
path
of every user (such as /usr/bin
or /usr/local/bin
).
