Dear Gromacs users,
 
This question is much more of a linux shell scripting than of Gromacs. I have 
several distances to measure in my produced system for which I use g_dist. I 
need to shell script this so I don't have to set next to the machine while 
measuring those distances. The problem I face is that g_dist, and others like 
g_rms and g_rmsf, asks for input of the number of the group with or without an 
index file. My question is, how can I use shell scripting to answer those 
questions given by g_dist, giving it the number of the groups which is usually 
0 an 1 using an index file of two atoms in the system?  
 
By doing this I can write a shell script of several g_dist lines, each is 
concerned with a specific distance, the shell script can input the number oif 
the groups to be measured, and I can do another experiment or go to the gym, or 
even cook something for dinner until it's done, lol
 
Has anyone of you tried doing this?
 
Thanks alot

Apology accepted.  Please don't feel like you have to save me any trouble or
look out for my productivity.  I only reply to email when I really care to, and
my comments are intended as helpful, not picky or overly critical :)  I do
appreciate this follow-up, as I have received several private emails telling me
I'm a useless jerk, and they really do mean it...
