Re: /home IFS directory

home is a directory under the / (root) directory in IFS.

The home directory in turn may have other directories in it.

Generally the home directory has  working directories for different users.
The name of the user diectories should be same as the user profiles.

The heirarchy is like

/home/user

The Home Directory parameter in one's User Profile decides the working
directory for a user when the user signs on.

If the home directory doesn't have a directory for a user , the / (root)
directory becomes the  working directory for the user.

For example if we have user named USER1
and if we have a directory USER1 in the home directory , when USER1 signs
on his working directory will be USER1. Otherwise his working directory
will be  the  /  directory.





The home directory is the intial work directory for IFS.

What little I know is the following.  When you do a DSPUSRPRF, at the end
you will find:

User profile . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   ROB
Home directory . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   /home/ROB

If you do a CHGUSRPRF and hit help you will find some additional
information.
Since it is user specific and not job specific, and I can look at the
contents from 2 separate 5250 sessions, I don't think it functions anything
like QTEMP.

Subject:  /home IFS directory

Can someone give me a quick rundown on the /home directory in IFS?  Is
this similar to the QTEMP lib. (which is unique to each job and gets
cleared when the job ends).  Does each user have their own /home
directory?

I've heard/read it has it's roots in UNIX, but since I know nothing
about UNIX, I'm not sure what the purpose of the /home directory it.

Thanks,
Dave
