Hello everyone,

I would like to customize my interactive app (Open OnDemand v 3.1.9) so that the active session is redirected to the directory `/home/user/{{job_id}}`, where `{{job_id}}` is the ID assigned by Slurm.  
I would save all files in the same directory (including output files and automatically generated files such as `connection.yml`, `job_script_content.sh`, etc.).

Is it possible to customize it in this way?

Thank you for your support!  
Vittorio

You can have the user start in any directory in the app, but getting the files like connection.yml and so on moved over there isn’t possible.
