I think bedpostx runs with nice automatically. Peace, Matt. _____ From: FSL - FMRIB's Software Library [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Finn Lennartsson Sent: Sunday, September 30, 2007 3:59 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [FSL] using "nice" with bedpost / bedpostX Hi, I wonder if/how I can using the "nice" command to down prioritize my parallelised bedpost(X) calcuations. Can I just write "nice bedpost <subj dir>" or do I have to edit the /bin/bedpost and other scripts to nestle "nice" commands into the scripts. I am running FSL 4.0, but I do not have any SGE. So I am using the old_bedpostX scripts on my FSL 4.0 installation. So I guess a nice command would come in the same way as for FSL 3.x, or? Saw from a post that you were not to keen on supporting the bedpostX. So sorry for asking. Kind regards, Finn L
