As I remember, in SGE and in PbsPro a job has a directory created for it on the execution host which is a temporary directory, named with he jobid. you can define int he batch system configuration where the root of these directories is.
On running srun env, the only TMPDIR I see is /tmp I know - RTFM. I bet I haven't realised that this si easy to set up... Specifically I would like a temprary job directory which is /local/$SLURM_JOBID I guess I can create this in the job then delete it, but it would be cleaner if the batch system deleted it and didnt allow for failed jobs or bad scripts leaving it on disk.
