Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

I tried setting the cache location in grouper.cache.properties (Thanks, Carey) but that didn't have the desired effect

grouper.cache.diskStorePath=/var/grouper/cache

I tried setting the TMPDIR environment variable before running the grouper shell (Thanks, Carl) but the cache files are still being created in /tmp

$ du -sh /tmp/grouper_ehcache_auto_TNQ*

30M /tmp/grouper_ehcache_auto_TNQK1FDP

386M /tmp/grouper_ehcache_auto_TNQMVVEG

Any other thoughts? I'm sure some of you Grouper admins have seen this problem. I would really like to find a solution.

On *NIX systems, you can usually set an environment variable for a given process to tell it to use a specific folder:

Subject: [grouper-users] temp space keeps filling up

Our /tmp partition fills up on the Grouper server when there is a lot of
activity. When the temp space fills up everything stops so I have to shut
down the loader and all grouper shell sessions and remove the cache files
and then start everything up again, then the cache files grow again to 1.5
GB. Our /tmp filesystem has 2 GB and it can't easily be expanded. Can we
configure Grouper to put the cache files in some other location? Is there
any way to limit the space used by the cache files?

$ du -sh /tmp/grouper_ehcache*
4.0K /tmp/grouper_ehcache_auto_TNO0DGXH
1.5G /tmp/grouper_ehcache_auto_TNO0DGXI
