Specifying a temp dir? (for show-tiling, or in general) #189

Open fishercera opened 2 years ago

fishercera commented 2 years ago

Hi folks,

the HPC I'm running on has very limited space on its /tmp partition. I can't find in the documentation a way to specify a different temp directory. Can I give show-tiling a different location for temporary file writing?

Here's the command I issued:

PRE=$1

show-tiling -a $PRE.delta > $PRE.tiling

The job ran for 2 days and 23 hours before I canceled it, and the HPC sysadmin notified me that the job had filled the /tmp directory.
