Is it possible to control the work directory of the notebook when executing it?

[dclong]

A jupyter notebook can be executed using the following command. By default, the work directory of the notebook is the directory containing it. However, is this configurable? Can I specify a different work directory for a notebook when executing it?

jupyter nbconvert --to notebook --execute mynotebook.ipynb

Sorry I missed this thread originally. No, you can specify the output directory where things will be deposited:

--output-dir= (FilesWriter.build_directory)
Default: ''
Directory to write output(s) to. Defaults to output to the directory of each
notebook. To recover previous default behaviour (outputting to the current
working directory) use . as the flag value.
