It is posible to write hs_err_pid*.log in a specific directory (different than the class directory) when java virtual machine crash?

When a java application crash outside the java virtual machine generate a log file hs_err_pidXXXX.log in the same directory than the class running.

It's posible generate this file in a different directory?

My client want to change to read only开发者_运维问答 this directory, but i don't like to lose this files.

I think the -XX:ErrorFile JVM arg will work.
