Re: [galaxy-dev] TEMP variable in cluster install
Hi Nate, I wrote the code such that if a machine had a large local scratch space then you could comment it out and it would go to the default setting of writing to /tmp or whatever is defined by SGE. You are correct that the environmental variables defined in the Galaxy startup script do not get passed when running as an actual user. Further I separated TMPDIR from new_files_path because new_files_path is used by Galaxy for other reasons such as uploading files and metadata.

This is also something you can put in the Galaxy user's ~/.sge_request, although with your actual user code this would be more difficult. There's actually already a temp directory option, new_file_path, this would just need to be added to the template. But I don't know that it's a good idea, since each node may have a large local scratch space and the path to that space may differ (this is the case in our environment, where we actually run jobs on multiple clusters).

Re: [galaxy-dev] TEMP variable in cluster install
Chorny, We had a similar issue with slurm-drmaa, and we exchanged some emails with the upstream drmaa maintainer (Mariusz, also reading this list). At the end he decided to export the environment variables from the submitting node shell to the worker nodes. That solves the problem in a more general way (affects all environment variables, not only $TEMP). On top of that, batch systems such as SGE have specific native flags for this behaviour: http://linux.die.net/man/3/drmaa_attributes: To have the remote command executed in a shell, such as ***to preserve environment settings***, use the drmaa_native_specification attribute to include the -shell yes option Having this TMP hack on drmaa.py would only complicate maintenance and traceability, imho. It is thus a matter of getting this functionality included upstream on the drmaa connector for your job manager and control it via drmaa's nativespecification settings/config (drmaa:// on universe_wsgi.ini).
