Thanks for the reply, setting up a separate tnm(library) for each user
the only solution I can think of also. However, that involve putting
all the *.so files and associate directories into these directories too.
When you say "copy stuff for each users" you do mean all the *.so and
directories, is that correct? At the minimum, symbolic links to all
these files, right?
I did notice that Scotty 3.0 create cache directory per user, I really
like that feature, however, it will be a while before I can convert all
my Scotty 2.1.x based utilities into 3.0 :( By the way, any insight on
the possible release date? especially on the agent stuff. Once again,
thank you for the great tool you have created and continue development.
