Swift Using shell variables

Any value in swift.properties may contain environment variables. For example:

workdir=/scratch/midway/$USER/work

Environment variables are expanded locally on the machine where you are running Swift.

Swift will also define a variable called $RUNDIRECTORY that is the path to the run directory Swift creates. In a case where you’d like your work directory to be in the runNNN directory, you may do something like this:

workdir=$RUNDIRECTORY
