Controlling where software writes output files

Software defines the location of writable files by using the SM_WRITEABLE environment variable. By default, SM_WRITEABLE is defined as BASEDIR/smarts/local.

This means the following:

• Saved consoles are written to BASEDIR/smarts/local/consoles.

• Log files are written to BASEDIR/smarts/local/logs.

• Repository files are written to BASEDIR/smarts/local/repos.

  If you want all writable files to be written elsewhere, set the path by using the SM_WRITEABLE environment variable.

  To set SM_WRITEABLE, add the variable to the runcmd_env.sh file.
