How can I specify the name of the subdirectory used within the <temporary_directory>?

Open tshmak opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

This is more of a question.

Is there an option to specify the sub-directory used within <temporary_directory>? Currently, it seems to default to <temporary_directory>/<corpus_directory>. However, I'd like to be able to specify alternative directories within <temporary_directory>. So for example, if my <corpus_directory> is "corpus", I may want to save my temporary files within "<temporary_directory>/corpus1" rather than "<temporary_directory>/corpus". This will enable me to run multiple alignments at the same time, cos otherwise, they'll conflict if the <corpus_directory>s from the different runs have the same name.

Is it possible to instead run the alignments in parallel with more jobs rather than running the alignment runs in parallel? You can also create symbolic links to the corpus directory and use those new directory names to ensure there isn't any conflict between temporary directories.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I've been using symbolic links with different names as a work around.
