ws_find - Find Workspace Path

ws_find returns the full path to a workspace, useful for scripts and automation.

Basic Usage

  $ ws_find myWs

This prints the full path to the workspace named myWs.

Options

• -F <filesystem> - Search workspace on specific filesystem
• -l - List valid filesystem names

Example in Scripts

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

This is particularly useful in batch job scripts where you need to locate a workspace that was created on the login node. See Using Workspaces in Batch Jobs for more details.

Checking Available Filesystems

  $ ws_find -l

Shows which filesystem locations are available for workspaces on your cluster. See Filesystems guide for more information about choosing filesystems.
