[drmaa-wg] making a custom file path for output

[Tim Harsch]

I'm sorry I wasn't clear.  I guess the heart of my question is:  How can
create an arbitrarty template for the file and path name?  Specifically what
constant tells the DRM to insert job id into that filename template.

Said in Perl psuedo form:

drmaa_set_attribute( $jt,
        $DRMAA_OUTPUT_PATH +  ":/tmp/my_job_output.$DRMAA_JOB_ID.out" );

# with that code job outputs look like
/tmp/my_job_output.1.out
/tmp/my_job_output.2.out
/tmp/my_job_output.3.out

# without that code job outputs look like
/home/harsch/script_name.o1
/home/harsch/script_name.o2
/home/harsch/script_name.o3

Is there a DRMAA_JOB_ID constant?

There is a simple solution, provided it works for you:
to rely on the shell to supply the home directory path instead of DRMAA.
