Dear Experts,
me are currently trying to run scripted/automated SPM8 processing on a
cluster engine (SGE, Centos Linux). Principally this is easily done by small
wrapper scripts that call Matlab with the -r (function) -nodesktop -nosplash
option. However many SPM functions seem to expect a display to be available
which is not present in this scenario. Although some steps work with a simple
warning that a display is missing ("Warning: Unable to open display."),
several actually fail, e.g. coregistration :
> Failed: 'Coreg: Estimate'
> Error using ==> set
> Width and height must be > 0
> in file "(...)/spm_orthviews.m" (v2947), function "bbox" at line 830
...
Is there a way to suppress the SPM8 output? Or forward the display to
/dev/null? Anyone tried something similar?
Any suggestions are very much appreciated.
Niels
