Re: [phenixbb] Request: read definitions from stdin

The --quiet option exists (phenix.refine --help). Reading from stdin is too tricky as a general feature ("my job hangs") and since phenix.refine cannot work without reading from files (pdb, mtz) and writes many files already, that one extra file doesn't really make a difference. However, you can script phenix.refine from Python, see phenix/phenix/refinement/command_line.py, the run() function, and pass in a list of "external_params", which you could read from stdin. To find out how to pre-process the external_params, see: http://cctbx.sourceforge.net/libtbx_phil.html Ralf
