findConfFile

This functions returns the path to the first configuration file found in the following locations:<ol>
<li>File &#8220;batchtools.conf.R&#8221; in the path specified by the environment variable &#8220;R_BATCHTOOLS_SEARCH_PATH&#8221;.</li>
<li>File &#8220;batchtools.conf.R&#8221; in the current working directory.</li>
<li>File &#8220;config.R&#8221; in the user configuration directory as reported by <code>rappdirs::user_config_dir("batchtools", expand = FALSE)</code> (depending on OS, e.g., on linux this usually resolves to &#8220;~/.config/batchtools/config.R&#8221;).</li>
<li>&#8220;.batchtools.conf.R&#8221; in the home directory (&#8220;~&#8221;).</li>
<li>&#8220;config.R&#8221; in the site config directory as reported by <code>rappdirs::site_config_dir("batchtools")</code> (depending on OS). This file can be used for admins to set sane defaults for a computation site.</li>
</ol>

As a successor of the packages 'BatchJobs' and 'BatchExperiments',
this package provides a parallel implementation of the Map function for high
performance computing systems managed by schedulers 'IBM Spectrum LSF'
(<https://www.ibm.com/us-en/marketplace/hpc-workload-management>),
'OpenLava' (<http://www.openlava.org/>), 'Univa Grid Engine'/'Oracle Grid
Engine' (<http://www.univa.com/>), 'Slurm' (<http://slurm.schedmd.com/>),
'TORQUE/PBS'
(<https://adaptivecomputing.com/cherry-services/torque-resource-manager/>),
or 'Docker Swarm' (<https://docs.docker.com/swarm/>).
A multicore and socket mode allow the parallelization on a local machines,
and multiple machines can be hooked up via SSH to create a makeshift
cluster. Moreover, the package provides an abstraction mechanism to define
large-scale computer experiments in a well-organized and reproducible way.
