The /p4/common/site directory is to be used as a standard location for storing any custom or site-specific files that are not part of the SDP package that comes from Perforce Software. The automated SDP upgrade procedure knows to ignore the /p4/common/site directory tree. The standard SDP shell environment mechanism includes /p4/common/site/bin in the PATH, so that adding executable files in there will put them in the PATH and thus make them easily accessible. Files in the /p4/common/site tree are inherently custom and site-local, and as such are not supported by Perforce Support.
