<br>
sorry to hear this did not help.<br>
<br>
You did not have to recompile since basedir is only used by the<br>
simulation factory, which makes testing this a bit faster.<br>
<br>
I am afraid I am not sure on top of my head what could cause this.<br>
<br>
So more questions:<br>
* this is on you laptop? or on a cluster (which one)?<br>
* would you mind attaching your simfactory/etc/defs.local.ini file,<br>
  please?<br>
* what does simfactory/bin/sim whoami report?<br>
* it would be good to provide the output of<br>
  simfactory/bin/sim print-mdb-entry $(simfactory/bin/sim whoami | \<br>
  awk &#39;{print $NF}&#39;)<br>
  which should output all information that simulation factory has about<br>
  the machine it is running on<br>
* please copy and past the full command line used for<br>
  simfactory/bin/submit as well as its output eg:<br>

&gt; Hi Roland,<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I tried changing the basedir and recompiling ET. However, when I ran the<br>
&gt; TOV simulation, it still outputs in the old directory.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Please help,<br>
&gt; Maitraya.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; On Thu, Jan 19, 2017 at 7:32 PM, Roland Haas &lt;<a href="mailto:rhaas@illinois.edu">rhaas@illinois.edu</a>&gt; wrote:<br>

&gt; &gt; Hello Maitraya,<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; there several directories involved. Typically (on a laptop, clusters are<br>
&gt; &gt; somewhat similar) you will find output in a directory:<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; /home/Maitraya/simulations/<wbr>static_tov/output-0000/<wbr>hydrobase-rho.x.asc<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; you can change the /home/Maitraya/simulations part by adding a<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; basedir = &lt;SOME-DIRECTORY-PATH&gt;<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; option to simfactory/etc/defs.local.ini in the section for your laptop<br>
&gt; &gt; (or cluster), eg if<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; simfactory/bin/sim whomai<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; reports &quot;maitrayaslaptop&quot; then you&#39;d ad<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; [maitrayaslaptop]<br>
&gt; &gt; basedir = /home/Maitraya/my-simulations<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; fr the static_tov part you have to edit the par file (static_tov.par)<br>
&gt; &gt; and look for its out_dir setting which currently likely reads:<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; ioutil::out_dir = $parfile<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; (or similar). This causes all output to go into a directory of the same<br>
&gt; &gt; name as the parameter file (without the .par extension). You can change<br>
&gt; &gt; this to anything you like eg:<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; ioutil::out_dir = &quot;stationary tov star&quot;<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; if you so desire (though spaces are usually a bad idea).<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; There some very rudimentary documentation that you can find here:<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>

&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; though I could not find any explanation of basedir in it unfortunately.<br>

&gt; &gt; &gt; Dear all,<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; I was running the TOV simulation (<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; <a href="https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Simplified_" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://docs.einsteintoolkit.<wbr>org/et-docs/Simplified_</a><br>
&gt; &gt; Tutorial_for_New_Users).<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; While running these two commands:<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; ./simfactory/bin/sim submit static_tov<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; --parfile=par/static_tov_<wbr>small.par --procs=1 --walltime=8:0:0<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;  ./simfactory/bin/sim show-output --follow static_tov<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; I noticed that the simulation is created in a particular directory.<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; I want to change this directory to something else. How do I change<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; this command ?<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; Thanks,<br>
