B.7.2 Directory Navigation

In addition, filesystem navigation is aided through the use of bookmarks to simplify access to frequently-used directories:

  CASA [4]: cd /home/ballista/jmcmulli/other_data
  CASA [4]: pwd
  /home/ballista/jmcmulli/other_data
  CASA [5]: bookmark other_data
  CASA [6]: cd /export/home/corsair-vml/jmcmulli/data
  CASA [7]: pwd
  /export/home/corsair-vml/jmcmulli/data
  CASA [8]: cd -b other_data
  (bookmark:data) -> /home/ballista/jmcmulli/other_data

For python scripts, there is a special command to change a directory.

os.system(’cd ~/directory’)

will NOT work but the following will:

os.chdir(’~/directory’)

[next] [prev] [prev-tail] [front] [up]
