Dear All,
while being no exert, I assume the following: in spatialsmooth-sess from freesurfer 4.0.5, line 160, there is the following test: test $infunc -nt $outfunc This is used to skip processing if -update is specified, the test evaluates to 1 if $infunc exists and is older than $outfunc it evaluates to 0 if $infunc truely is newer than $outfunc; it ALSO evaluates to 1 if $outfunc does not exist (tested with macosx 10.5.4). So if $outfunc does not exist (and 'ls: 017/fmcsm5.nii: No such file or directory' is exactly pointing to ths configuration), then the processing is skipped. I would assume that running without the "- update" option should solve the problem... Or exchanging line 159 with something along the ines of: if ($UpdateOnly & !(-e $outfunc)) then So that the critical test is only run, if no $outfunc exists...
Then again, I could be completely out to lunch, as I still use FS 3.0.5, and only looked at the 4.0.5 code...

Hi, I used the command
preproc-sess -s LD-functional -fwhm 5
However, the command does not seem create the fmcsm5.nii file. The process completes motion correction successfully, but it does not complete the spatial smoothing and brain masking. I get a "Motion correction SUCCESSFULLY completed" message but I only get a "Spatial smoothing done" message. I have already asked this question in the mailing list. and i was asked to check the writing permissions of the directories. I have changed the "bold" directory and freesurfer directory to have read, write and execute permisions using the "chmod -R 777" command.
I get the following output:
preproc-sess logfile is log/preproc-sess.log
