#3 disconnect from nfs file system

[Michael Schmuker]

Make sure that the engines have no more connections to the home directory. Check whether the engines read config files from ~/.ipython, and find another solution for that. Any open file should be located on a local directory, like /var/tmp.

Of course, the path should be configurable via command line or config file.

It seems the only file which is kept open is the logfile:

ls -l /proc/<ipengine_pid>/fd 
total 0
lr-x------ 1 schmuker login_neuroinf 64 Jul  3 10:13 0 -> pipe:[48458560]
l-wx------ 1 schmuker login_neuroinf 64 Jul  3 10:13 1 -> pipe:[48458561]
l-wx------ 1 schmuker login_neuroinf 64 Jul  3 10:13 2 -> pipe:[48458562]
l-wx------ 1 schmuker login_neuroinf 64 Jul  3 10:13 3 -> /home/fenn/schmuker/.ipython/log/ipengine21758-21765.log
lr-x------ 1 schmuker login_neuroinf 64 Jul  3 10:13 5 -> pipe:[48458569]
l-wx------ 1 schmuker login_neuroinf 64 Jul  3 10:13 6 -> pipe:[48458569]
lrwx------ 1 schmuker login_neuroinf 64 Jul  3 10:13 7 -> socket:[48458576]

the -l option lets us specify a log file. We should put it in /var/tmp/<mkstemp> or something.
