[Halld-offline] PROOF, .farm_out, & Disk Quotas

[Paul Mattione]

By default, PROOF-Lite will create temporary files in your ~/.proof/ folder while it's running.  This can fill up your quota if you aren't careful.  To fix this, you can change the directory PROOF uses for this "sandbox."  To do this, simply call DPROOFLiteManager::Set_SandBox("/volatile/halld/home/pmatt/") before running PROOF (with a path to your own folder instead of mine).  It may still put some files in your ~/.proof/ folder (e.g. logs), but it should be much less than before. 

Also, when you submit jobs at jlab, the stdout & stderr are saved to ~/.farm_out/ unless you redirect them.  Even if you redirect them, they will sometimes end up there if the job fails.  Over time, this can also fill up your quota.  One way to deal with this is to indirectly redirect them to /volatile/:

mv ~/.farm_out /volatile/halld/home/$USER/.farm_out
ln -s /volatile/halld/home/$USER/.farm_out ~/.farm_out
