I would fear that remains of old jobs will accumulate there and fill the disk over time. This setup also has no means for the users to access their "home" on the nodes from the head node of the cluster? > Is there any configurable process that SGE will start before the job and that > will not try to cd to user's home directory before start?

What you can try: switch to a known directory with `qsub -wd /tmp …` or a similar path which exists where SGE should `chdir` to, and switch then in the job script to the user's home directory after it was created in the prolog (the prolog runs a child process, so you can't `chdir` therein for the real job – but in combination with a starter_method it might work to automate this). The -wd could be added in a JSV. -- Reuti _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@gridengine.org https://gridengine.org/mailman/listinfo/users
