Set custom tmp directory for transient .rwf files #6

Closed eacheach closed 9 years ago

eacheach commented 9 years ago

When running queries, /tmp appears to be used to store .rwf file output from rwfilter which is later processed but another tool like rwcut, rwstats, etc. When querying a large about of data, these working files can be very large. Our /tmp directory is on a rather small file system and can become full when running large queries. Our data directory for SiLK however is relatively large. We'd like to either have a configurable option to set the directory where the temporary .rwf files are stored of have them default to the SiLK data directory.

Actually, after working through this a little more, having the temp directory being inside the flowbat installation directory may make more sense since the SiLK data may be remote.

This issue has been resolved in FlowBAT 1.2.0. The temp directory used to store these files is now user configurable.Thanks!
