BaseDirectory

String

The working directory on the endpoint host which will be used by FlexDeploy during plugin execution.

If you standardize of directory location on all servers this default can be very useful when creating new Endpoints. 

For example, /app/flexdeploy.

Working directory under /var/tmp or /tmp folder is not recommended as administrators generally have cron jobs to purge files based on age and that will cause issues when plugin files are deleted. For example, Error: Could not find or load main class flexagon.fd.core.plugin.ExternalPluginServer will be encountered when plugin lib files are deleted.
