# This script follows the setup process outlined at
# https://osc.github.io/ood-documentation/latest/how-tos/app-development/enabling-development-mode.html
# to set up app development folders for a given user. All that you need to
# provide is a username (net ID). The script will check if they have a home
# directory and won't run if they don't, so this will only work for users who
# have already logged into the system at least once.

# The script will only work when run on the portal node, as the symlink it
# creates needs to exist within the OOD install on the portal node.
