Hi,

I'm running multiple instances of buckminster and they are all trying to use
the same temporary folder. Is it possible to change this folder somehow?
Specifically, the temporary folder is a problem during the "perform"
command. However, a general preference change would be okay too.

Thank you,
-- Scott

Hi Scott,
Buckminster will use the "java.io.tempdir" property. On a Unix/Linux system I beleive you
can set it by changing the $TMPDIR environment variable. I'm not sure what happens if you
start with -Djava.io.tempdir=xxx. That might work too.

Regards,
Thomas Hallgren

As you suggested (minor typo: 'tmp' not 'temp'), I was able to tac the
following on to the end of my headless command to achieve what I wanted.

-vmargs -Djava.io.tmpdir=/temp/folder

Thank you!

Oh, sorry about that. I'll contribute my mistake to the period while I used Microsoft
products a bit too much. Of course there's never an 'e' in tmp :-)
