Herewith I'd like to share important information with you. IT department was working on some slurm jobs issue and discovered that one needs to be aware of how java is handling "tmp" folder.

Java is only honoring the $TMP environment variable on windows. On Linux Java is using a hardcoded "/tmp" when creating temporary file objects.

It seems that the workaround for this is to set the java.io.tmp property of the JVM to the content of $TEMPDIR environment variable at startup like this:

    java -Djava.io.tmpdir="$TEMPDIR" ...

For further information see this stackoverflow thread:

Thanks for your attention
