Hi Allin and Jack,
Often one works, at least me, on different machines which may have
different directory structures; something like
<hansl>
scalar MACHINE = 1
if MACHINE==1
string wd = "home/user_b/Dropbox/project/"
elif MACHINE==2
string wd = "home/user_B/SomStuff/project/"
endif
</hansl>
This requires that one always need to select manually some active
machine. Linux (and I guess also Windows and MacOS), however, stores a
unique identifier for every machine, try <cat /etc/machine-id>. See e.g.
here for details:
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/machine-id.5.html
Do you also consider it worthy to add such an accessor which could be
named "idmachine". Alternatively it could be stored in the bundle
accessed by $sysinfo.
Best,
Artur
