The intention of my script is to automate several runs of a program. It works
fine. I added nice -20 to it to put it in the background, and it works fine.
I added nohup to keep the command going during a logout (these can take many
hours), and during the tests, it said, "outputing to nohup.out" (Should I
nohup the perl script?) After the test, the program had worked normally, and
nohup.out was empty. In addition, I added print statements before and after
the system command to monitor progress, but they were not printed until the
very end (i.e. 4 runs of the program). Here is the for loop containing the
main code sample:
for ($loop = 0; $loop < $opt_m; $loop++) {
@sander_input = ("nice", "-20", "nohup", "sander", "-O" etc.); # lots of
flags here
$job = $loop + 1;
print "starting job $job";
system(@sander_input);
print "finished job $job";
}
Thanks much.
