Sample Directory Structure
The following is common SEP sesam directory layout after an RPM or DEB installation on Linux. The programs are located in /opt/sesam, the files are in /var/opt/sesam:
barometrix:~ # find /opt/sesam/ /var/opt/sesam/ -type d /opt/sesam/ /opt/sesam/bin /opt/sesam/bin/db /opt/sesam/bin/gui /opt/sesam/bin/gui/html /opt/sesam/bin/sesam /opt/sesam/bin/sms /opt/sesam/skel /opt/sesam/skel/db /opt/sesam/skel/templates ### /var/opt/sesam/ /var/opt/sesam/var /var/opt/sesam/var/ini /var/opt/sesam/var/ini/root /var/opt/sesam/var/log /var/opt/sesam/var/log/db /var/opt/sesam/var/log/lgc /var/opt/sesam/var/log/sms /var/opt/sesam/var/tmp /var/opt/sesam/var/work /var/opt/sesam/var/work/smslis /var/opt/sesam/var/work/info /var/opt/sesam/var/work/ctl /var/opt/sesam/var/work/sem /var/opt/sesam/var/times /var/opt/sesam/var/lis /var/opt/sesam/var/not /var/opt/sesam/var/qm /var/opt/sesam/var/glbv /var/opt/sesam/var/prepost /var/opt/sesam/var/prot /var/opt/sesam/var/sel /var/opt/sesam/var/db barometrix:~ #
/opt/sesam/bin /var/opt/sesam
