The information in this chapter is included in the README file found in the top directory of an ISS distribution, usually /iss on an operational ISS workstation.
This tree contains software, scripts, and other files which customize a Solaris workstation for running the ISS operating environment. The files and directories in the top directory are described below:
| Imakefile | The Imakefile which generates the toplevel Makefile. |
| Project.tmpl | The imake config file with settings specific to ISS. |
| Zebra.tmpl | A link created by issmkmf to Zebra's Project.tmpl. |
| configs | The zebra project directories, plot descriptions, and Campbell download files. |
| doc/ | Documentation. |
| etc/ | Configuration files and scripts which supercede and extend similar system files. |
| home/ | Home directories for users iss, issadmin, and root. |
| src/ | Source directories for ISS programs. |
| scripts/ | ISS script utilities. |
| lib/ | Installed location of ISS software libraries. |
| bin/ | Installed location of executable binaries and links to scripts. |
| share/ | Directory created by the build process to share header files among software source directories. |
The /iss/etc/ directory is organized similarly to the system /etc directory, with an init.d directory for scripts and files which take the place of their equivalent system files. The ISS configuration script takes care of placing links in the system /etc tree to the corresponding files in the /iss/etc tree. For example, /etc/hosts is a link to /iss/etc/hosts. Likewise, a link in /etc/rc3.d to /iss/etc/init.d/root.iss is the ISS hook to starting up its subsystems by running the scripts in /iss/etc/init.d.
