Dear all,
I have some 10,000 to 100,000 simulation files to run through PsN so I typed in
cmd something which looks like the following lines:
execute xxxxxyyyyy_000001.mod xxxxxyyyyy_000002.mod ... xxxxxyyyyy_030000.mod
But the string is too long in this case. So, I created a batch file which
breaks down the codes into 100 lines and hoped that each line will run
sequentially, which looks like:
execute xxxxxyyyyy_000001.mod xxxxxyyyyy_000002.mod ... xxxxxyyyyy_000300.mod
execute xxxxxyyyyy_000301.mod xxxxxyyyyy_000302.mod ... xxxxxyyyyy_000600.mod
execute xxxxxyyyyy_000601.mod xxxxxyyyyy_000602.mod ... xxxxxyyyyy_000900.mod
...
execute xxxxxyyyyy_029701.mod xxxxxyyyyy_029702.mod ... xxxxxyyyyy_030000.mod
The run started successful, unfortunately only the first line was run (so, the
run stopped after the 300th file).
It would be troublesome to manually run these 100 lines one by one.
What would be an appropriate code for this purpose?
Thanks!

Code lines for sequential runs through PsN
Hi Matthew,
Use call execute in batch files to allow the process to return and continue
with the next line. If you have multiple processors, use the -threads argument
to spread across your processors. This would make:
call execute -threads=8 xxxxxyyyyy_000001.mod ... xxxxxyyyyy_000300.mod
call execute -threads=8 xxxxxyyyyy_000301.mod ... xxxxxyyyyy_000600.mod
...etc...
Kind regards,
Rik

provided that you're trying to do this on linux, you could take a look
at the xargs command. Specifically, you could try the following:
ls xxxxxyyyyy_*mod | xargs execute
You can use the --max-lines parameter if you want xargs to divide the
job into chunks of a given size (say 300 models per execute). See "man
xargs" for the full documentation.
