can we ask virtuoso to write its lock or CDS.log somewhere else than $HOME ?

ebecheto

Symptom of my bug.

I have a machine with a $HOME on a shared NFSv3 network folder.

virtuoso version IC25.1-64b, although it is the same for other versions.

If i ran virtuoso, it freezes the shell.

If i use a local user (with its $HOME in let says a /local/home/user directory) virtuoso ran properly.

Another trick, work too : if I change HOME variable : 

mkdir -p /local/$USER/home/ && cd /local/$USER/home/
cp $HOME/.Xauthority /local/$USER/home/
export HOME=/local/$USER/home
source /share/Adm/license_common.sh
/share/Cad/CAD/IC251/tools/dfII/bin/virtuoso #<= OK DOES NOT FREEZE

Marvellous ! Virtuoso start fast and properly.

Is there an environment variable to set to say to virtuoso to use another fake directory to prevent access to $HOME directory ?

Thanks for sharing thoughts, Regards, Edouard

    1. You should be able to set default log path using the shell variable

      setenv CDS_LOG_PATH <full_path_name>

    2. You can also provide multiple directories to this shell variable separated by colon (:)  (in order of preference)

      setenv CDS_LOG_PATH /project/logFiles/virtuosoLog/:/home/CAD/user/LOGS:/home/cds/logs

      Note: If none of the directory exists then log file will be created in $HOME

    3. You can also use this shell variable to create log file sequently (CDS.log.1, CDS.log.2,....CDS.log105) rather than
      updating the same CDS.log over and over again.

      setenv CDS_LOG_VERSION sequential
