To create a specific temporary disk space type the following:

cd /srv/temp
mkdir [your login name]

Be aware that this space is volatile. Any files older than 7 days are automatically removed from /srv/temp/. At the end of a work session you should backup any files you want to save.

Note: Temp space is frequently at a premium. Those who are consistently using the temp space are monitored and this information is published for all to see. If the CSB staff sees evidence that attempts have been made to circumvent the automatic deletion the affected files will be deleted forthwith.

Other temporary disk spaces are automatically assigned to each user. These are used by various programs. You can determine which spaces have been assigned by typing:

env

and looking at the values of the following variables:

EXINIT
SHARP_SCR
TMPDIR
