/home/flight permissions #200

SCoPEx is not copying flight.sh.log on saverun, despite LogFiles being specified correctly. rwxr-xr-x /home/flight If I add g+w to /home/flight, then I can't login as user flight using an ssh key, which we require. This shouldn't be a problem if saverun uses flight@$FlightNode, and that is in fact what is specified. Maybe that's not the problem.

Ah, I think the problem is when running saverun on the flight node as another user.

One possible way to address this would be to make /home/flight/flight.sh.log be a softlink to /home/scopex/flight.sh.log

That would require change to mkexpactive.

I have tested this approach on scopex, and it works. Still need to make the change to mkexpactive.

Existing instruments will need to:

Modify Experiment.config to remove explicit reference to flight.sh.log in LogFiles
Rerun mkexpactive to create the soft link

There should be no problem if they fail to do this unless and until they run mkexpactive.
