To find all installed versions of a specific program:

  1. Open a terminal
  2. Type
    ypcat -k auto.appl | grep -i PROGNAME
    where PROGNAME is the name of the program you are looking for (For example, to find netlogo simply type:
    ypcat -k auto.appl | grep -i netlogo
    Note you can use just part of the program name if you are uncertain of its full name, eg:
    ypcat -k auto.appl | grep -i logo
  3. The listed directories can be found under the directory /appl (For example, to get to netlogo 4.0.3 type
    cd /appl/netlogo-4.0.3

To view which programs have scripts associated with them:

  1. Open a terminal
  2. Type
    ls -l /common/scripts | grep -i PROGNAME
    where PROGNAME is the name of the program you are looking for. (This will list all scripts that match PROGNAME.)
  3. Type the name of the script you wish to run.
