Description

nova --tmpdir $somedir -c eventdump.fcl $somefile.root gives this

  Module label: out1
  module_type : FileDumperOutput

  Unsupported parameters:

   + tmpDir                         [  ]

I think the --tmpdir command line argument should only set the option on modules where it's going to work (or alternate output modules should have dummy tmpDir parameters that do nothing).

This is more aggravating than you'd expect since I have this in my .bashrc

# Banish RootOutput and TFileService temp files                         
alias nova='nova --tmpdir /dune/data/users/bckhouse/tmp/'

There is a straightforward fix that we could implement. However, we would like to investigate whether we can inject the parameter in a smarter fashion based on whether a supported configuration has been specified a la the configuration validation system.
