Screen output on HPC system

Submitted by emreyildiz on Wed, 06/08/2011 - 16:06

Hi all,

I'm new to Ligggghts and this might seem a little 'out-of-liggghts' question but I thought you might help.

I'm running simulations on a supercomputer provided by my university.
When I want to run a simulation, I need to submit the job to a queuing system and it runs the simulation on the background, so I can't see any screen output. The reason I need screen outputs is that it sometimes says "WARNING: Less insertions than requested, the particle size distribution you wish may not be pictured" when I run the simulation on my computer and as a result I can't see polydisperse particles in paraview.

Is there anyway you can help me with this?

you can use the "-screen file" command line switch to direct the output into a file, see the manual for details
