Question
The job spool directory can be in many places, then is there a list containing all the possible places that can be used to locate the spool directory?
Answer
The execution home, which can be seen in the output of "bjobs -l" and functions as the spool directory, could be one of the following possible directories:
1. The environment variable $HOME
In Windows system, %HOME% is often not set. But if %HOME% is set, it will be used as the execution home in stead of %windir% . Here %HOME% does not refer to %HOMEDRIVE% or %HOMEPATH.
2. JOB_SPOOL_DIR
The configuration parameter JOB_SPOOL_DIR, can be defined in LSF_TOP/conf/lsbatch/<Cluster Name>/configdir/lsb.params.
3. Directory ".lsbatch"
This directory is usually under the home directory for job submission.
4. Directory ".lsbtmp"
This directory can be found under the following possible directories:
a. LSF_TMPDIR defined in environment or lsf.conf ;
b. Environment variable TMP ;
c. Environment variable TEMP ;
d. C: (for Windows system) or /tmp (for Linux system) directly.
