Let ngspice not to generate .out file

Question

We are using ngspice to simulate some circuitry. The command is like this:

ngspice < autocode3.sp

That would generate the correct result which we need.

But it will also generate a file named 'bsim4v5.out'. Is it possible not to generate this file?

Background: We are using ngspice in a web server. If multiple people simulate the same circuitry, the files bsim4v5.out will be generated simultaneously which would lead to failure.

Answer 1

Put a .spiceinit file on $HOME. The content of the file is:

set ngbehavior=hsa
set ng_nomodcheck
