Thanks for answering.

 

I must have been half asleep when I tried using & before in linux.  I remember it not working but I probably misskeyed something as it was the first couple of time I ran phenix.  It's working now.

 

I was using a cci application from January so I'll try the newest version for the ordered solvent.

 

Thanks again,

Mary

In this respect, phenix.refine is like any other Unix command.
It will work if you direct both "stdout" and "stderr" to a file,
e.g. in tcsh:

phenix.refine model.pdb data.mtz >& logfile &

I think newer bash versions also support the simple ">&" syntax.
It is a good habit to redirect the output of all background jobs
in this way.
The --quiet option pointed out by others is a good idea, too. But to
be sure a background command doesn't hang always use the redirection
to a file.

No, sorry. We will address this at some point in the future.
