[Pw_forum] Chosing output file name using the -in/input option

[Sylvian Cadars]

Hi,
Thanks for the solutions you proposed.  I tried most of them, and the 
results are summarized below:

I tried, and it does not change anything.  Just to let you know, when I 
do a ssh on each node, I get the same files and directories as on the 
master node (don't know if this helps...).

I have not tried this yet.  I tried to change a few things that I 
believe are related to similar issues and explained on the user guide, 
but I am not sure I did this well (besides, reading it again, it does 
not seem to apply for openMPI, does it?).

Where are the typical locations where environmental variables are 
changed: my .bashrc file (I am using the bash environment)?  What is the 
correct syntax to do this?

Redirection does not seem to work.

I tried and it seems to work.  PWscf now does write the output in the 
file 'some_file_name'.  So I guess that the idea is then to use the 
command 'mv' in my script to change this file (thus used as a temporary 
file fir each job) to the file name I want.  Am I correct?
Am I then supposed to apply these changes to all the programs I want to 
use (e.g. gipaw.x, band.x, and maybe others) ?

Thanks.

Sylvian.
