How set working dir for aspell/ispell?

[Oleksandr Gavenko]

Some times I create temporary directories and delete them
when they stand unused.

But aspell process pwd to this directory and it can not be deleted.

I use 'procexp.exe' on Windows and 'lsof' on Linux to locate 'aspell'
to kill it.

It is convenient start  'aspell' in $HOME  directory so no need to kill
spell process.

Oleksandr,
Although this is not directly answering you question,
you can use
M-x ispell-kill-ispell
to stop the current ispell process. If the current buffer
has flyspell-mode enabled, then ispell will automatically
restart, otherwise it will be restarted the next time it is
needed.

HTH,
Colin S. Miller
