ws_find - Find Workspace Path

ws_find prints the full path to a workspace. Essential for scripts and batch jobs.

Basic Usage

  $ ws_find myWs                           # Print workspace path

Use in Scripts

Capture path in variable:

  $ WORKSPACE=$(ws_find myProject)
  $ cd "$WORKSPACE"

In batch jobs:

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --job-name=my_job

WORKSPACE=$(ws_find myProject)
cd "$WORKSPACE"
./my_program

This is the recommended way to locate workspaces in batch jobs. See Using Workspaces in Batch Jobs.

Options

• -F <filesystem> - Find workspace on specific filesystem
• -l - List available filesystem locations

Check Available Filesystems

  $ ws_find -l                             # Show filesystem locations

See Filesystems guide for choosing the right filesystem.
