Site wide configuration

When the ert application starts it will first read a site configuration file before loading the configuration file given by the user. The path to the configuration file is compiled in when building the libres library, alternatively it can be configured runtime by setting the environment variable ERT_SITE_CONFIG.

The purpose of the site-config file is to configure settings which should apply to all users in an organisation, typical things to include in the site config file is installation of forward model and workflow jobs, and configuring properties of the cluster. This could be an example site config file:

-- Set some properties of the local LSF system
QUEUE_OPTION LSF LSF_QUEUE hmqueue
QUEUE_OPTION LSF MAX_RUNNING 100
QUEUE_OPTION LSF LSF_SERVER   lsf-front01.company.com
QUEUE_OPTION LSF BSUB_CMD     /path/lsf/bin/bsub
QUEUE_OPTION LSF BJOBS_CMD    /path/lsf/bin/bjobs
QUEUE_OPTION LSF BKILL_CMD    /path/lsf/bin/bkill


-- The location of the forward model and workflow jobs
-- distributed with the libres source code. The part
