      3. Scripts

      NamePurpose
      /TestEnv/env/bin/initial_testenv.shThis setups up your account to use /TestEnv. It creates aliases, setups up to change your PATH to be the original push the paths to the binaries. Check out changes to the end of your .bashrc file and changes to your env variables with "env | grep PATH".
      /TestEnv/env/bin/add_app.shThis script can be run by the alias 'add_path'. Executed as "add_path mongo5". Or if you wish you have 2 mongo installations "add_path mongo6". NOTE: /TestEnv/env/mongo5.env must exist and should have in it a single line "export PATH_mongo5=/TestEnv/apps/mongo5/bin" and /TestEnv/apps/mongo5/bin should have softlinks to app the binaries you want include/
      /TestEnv/env/bin/make_paths.sh Can be accessed by alias 'make_path'. This alias will take the variables ORIGINAL_PATH, append all Path_* and set it to the env variables PATH.
      /TestEnv/env/bin/display_paths.shDisplays the original paths and the paths added to PATH and where they came from.
