Hi Daniel, I was having a second look at the script and apparently the script is fine with a small spelling error. The STAT variable which is set at 3 different instances has spelling error in "scripts" where "t" is missing. Once this was corrected the script is fine but it's still not working. It initiates all the processes and then just sits idle. After waiting for half an hour it still does not make step1-00.done (I start directly with motion cor) keeping all the other processes waiting. I am still probing into this. If you can think of something that might be of help then let me know. -Dhruman

That's confusing. I think you should take one line of executable code from your script that produces that behavior and then email it to the freesurfer list.
It sounds to me like the recon-all script ASSUMES that the log file exists if you specify a name. I thought it actually creates one first, but I could have been mistaken there, and if so I will need to add a few
extra lines of code. PLEASE follow up on this. It will help others.
The other thing to try is to create a text file first, such as like this: echo "#Starting recon-all manually..." > /Applications/freesurfer/subjects/ddg6/scripts/recon-all-status.log
and then see if my script is ok.
Keep me posted.

Hi Daniel, I tried to use the script super-recon on mac OX S using bash shell. I made the necessary changes to make it operable in bash. However when I run the script its gives me the following error:
Tcsh:/Applications/freesurfer/subjects/ddg6/scripts/recon-all-status.lo
g
:not a file or directory.
I tried to run the first 3 steps of the script (motioncor, nuintensitycor, talairach) and it gives the above error. However if I remove the log and status flags, the first 3 steps executes properly.
Do
you have any idea why? Do you see any problem if I delete the log and status flags from the whole script and use it? -Dhruman

Ah. Silly me, I didn't notice the -log and -status options. Thanks
Nick.
I have now included those into my super-recon script as well. Problem solved.

The script looks good. The one thing it needs though is for the

and left hemi steps to log to separate files, otherwise output to
recon-
all.log will be interleaved, making debugging impossible.

I was hoping someone else would do this, but well, it seems that no
one did. So I went ahead and made this myself. Amusingly, I don't NEED to reconstruct any brains right now, so I don't have anything to test this out with. Please someone try it, and let me know if it is helpful.
What I did was write a script that runs each and every part of the recon-all -all stream, one command at a time. (based on the NEW version 3 stream). Each one is loaded with -waitfor and -notify so that the dependency
structure is intact. However, ALL of the commands start running in the background! If you have a 2 more processor system, then recon-all should complete in about HALF the time as it usually does, since all the hemisphere
specific stuff can be done in parallel. At the completion of each hemipshere, it will email you.
I included a command for each minute step so that people can easily
fiddle with options and commands and so forth.
Obviously, if you run recon-all -autoreon1, then you can then run my script (after deleting the step1-??.done lines). If you run recon-all -autorecon2, then you can run my script (after
deleting the step1-??.done and step2-??.done lines) And so forth.

Enjoy, and PLEASE email me if you use this. If there are corrections I can easily post them. Daniel
