LSF_TMPDIR

Syntax

LSF_TMPDIR=directory

Description

Specifies the path and directory for temporary LSF internal files. If LSB_JOB_TMPDIR is not set, a job-specific temporary directory is also created under LSF_TMPDIR. For more details on the job-specific temporary directory, refer to LSB_JOB_TMPDIR.

When LSB_JOB_TMPDIR is not defined in lsf.conf, LSF uses the directory specified by LSF_TMPDIR (or /tmp by default) on execution host.

Important: This directory is for LSF internal use only. Make sure that user's jobs and post-execution processes do not use this directory.

Default

By default, LSF_TMPDIR is not enabled. If LSF_TMPDIR is not specified in lsf.conf, this parameter is defined as follows:
  • On UNIX: $TMPDIR or /tmp
  • On Windows: %TMP%, %TEMP, or %SystemRoot%
