Re: Using /home for application directories

On Linux I've seen /opt /var /home /apps and other directory names being used.

I tend to like to have my apps all in one master subdir with project subdirs for each specific app.

The fun is we have options 😊

I agree with just being consistent if you can.

Thanks

Hello,

My client has been creating directories in the /home directory for applications such as /home/finance. This seems wrong to me.

Expanding on the other replies: It's simply a matter of taste. There's nothing wrong with this approach as long as it's used in a consistent matter.

If it helps a bit? for me, a library in QSYS.LIB is a likewise grouping facility. I see a library as a "project", where everything regarding this project (source, data, applications) are tucked into one spot.

:wq! PoC
