is it possible to change the location of /tmp directory?

[ReemaSingh]

Hi,

I would like to know - is there a way to change the location of the /tmp directory in the following command or any other way?

MTBseq --step TBfull --project TEST --threads 8

Any response would be highly appreciated.

Thank you,

Do you mean the default Linux tmp directory? Why would this be necessary?
This is nothing MTBseq is taking care of.
You better look or google some Linux specific forums or manuals for this issue.

During the MTBseq analysis, the pipeline temporarily stores files in the /tmp folder. The storage capacity of this /tmp folder is crucial for dealing with large analyses. In our case, we are analyzing 1TB of WGS samples, and our analysis has failed multiple times due to the limited /tmp storage space (~100 GB). When we reached out to our admin staff to increase the limit, they suggested changing the directory instead of using the system's /tmp folder. My question is, is it possible to direct the MTBseq pipeline to use a different directory to store temporary files instead of the system's default /tmp folder?
