Hi James, I'll leave the global Phenix temp aspect to Billy. For ligand identification specifically, the working directory is where all the files are located. The program will purge most of the intermediate files upon completion. If the user interrupted the runs or if the program crashed at certain spots, the purge mechanism might not kick in. Even so, it'd take many runs to accumulate 20e6 (2e7?) files. In any case, you've got a point and I'll look into salvaging intermediate files of ligand identification as soon as they are not needed in the process.

Hello all,
Is there a way to configure phenix at install time (or perhaps post-install) to put temporary files under /tmp ? I just had to delete 20e6 temp files over NFS from a single user's phenix ligand identification run. The delete took almost a month.
Apologies if I am neglecting to look somewhere obvious in the documentation,
Happy Weekend!
