Environment Variables

To run the ARGO system three environment variables (ARGO_DIR, ARGOBACKUP_DIR and ARGOBACKUP_OPR) must be set, for example:
setenv ARGO_DIR  /a/ARGO # directory where system is installed
setenv ARGOBACKUP_DIR  /b/argobackup # ARGO dir where backup script is located
setenv ARGOBACKUP_OPR  "oper@compu.oper" # the operator's Email
