Disable abrtd for executables stored in project directory

Question

I have the following problem with the abrt daemon:

For a tuning application I am executing the same program over and over again. A lot of the times the program I am executing fails. That is no problem and actually expected, but after thousands of fails abrtd runs at 100% CPU usage.

Because I don't need the error reporting from abrt I would like to configure it to ignore all crashes that happen from executables stored in my project directory. I found the BlackListedPaths configuration keyword, but I can not access the configuration file under /etc because I do not have admin privileges.

Is there a way to to configure abrtd as described above without admin rights?

Many thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I was able to disable the abrt error reporting without admin rights by creating a file under ~/.config/abrt/abrt.conf with BlackListedPaths = /path/to/project/ as its content.
