Hello, I’m trying to specify the /projects directory on Monsoon2 where the cylc-run output is saved. I’m member of ‘ukca-lan’ project, but I was also added to the ‘nexcs-n02’ one a while ago, and since that all the suite output has been going to my directory on /projects/nexcs-n02 rather than /projects/ukca-lan. I’m now trying to get in back to /projects/ukca-lan (as nexcs is finished) but I can’t find where to set it. All my suites have ACCOUNT\_MONSOON=‘ukca-lan’. Could you please help? Thank you, Ewa ---

To force your suite to output to the XXX project directory add the following to the top of the rose-suite.conf file: ```auto root-dir=*=/projects/XXX/$USER ``` Grenville ---
