.Data on Linux server

["Russell Ivory" <Russell.Ivory@MerrickBank.com>]

I’ve been creating a separate .Data directory for each project in the Windows environment simply by creating a shortcut on the desktop and setting the attributes of the shortcut to point to the given path for that project.  S-Plus then creates the .Data the first time I use the shortcut.  Another method of course is to use the GUI and select Options, General Settings, and checking the box ‘Set S_PROJ to Working Directory’.

 

We’ve recently migrated over to a Linux platform and I need once again to create separate .Data directories for each project.  I have a critical project called ‘pipeline’ where I need to keep the .Data or S_PROJ clean and untouched by anything else.  This project resides at

 

~/pipeline

 

When I start a new project in S-Plus on the Linux server, I go to my project directory and as I start S-Plus I’m prompted where to start the working directory as follows:

 

ESS [S(S+6): /usr/local/bin/Splus] starting data directory? ~/MySwork/betaproject/

 

 However, this new project may have its own working directory where it will read and write files, but it uses the pipeline S_PROJ data base.

 

Can someone give me instructions for setting the S_PROJ to individual directories for individual projects on the Linux platform?

 

Thank you in advance,
