How to create sosreport in alternate location RHEL/OL/CENTOS?

Following steps are applicable to RHEL/OL/CENTOS, widely other distros too have similar option.

• Older release of sosreport i.e "sos-1.7-9.49.0.2.el5.src.rpm or earlier" doesn't have a inbuilt command line option to define a alternate location, so environmental variables were used.

           # env TMP=<alternate-path> sosreport        

• sos-1.7-9.54.0.1.el5.src.rpm or later  versions has "--tmpdir" command line option to specify the alternate location.
