Dear Matthew!

Thanks for that speed answer!

Yes, all there are only 8 generate.e files (and not 136) and they all stop after the 2nd perm of the 2nd t-test.

Here are the .con and .mat files.

Just in case, the command was:
randomise_parallel -i all_FA_skeletonised.nii.gz -o FACTOR3 -m FACTOR3_tfce_corrp_tstat1_thresh0.95_bin.nii.gz -d 3FACTOR.mat -t 3FACTOR.con -n 5000 -D --T2 -V 


Thanks so much!
All the best, Markus

Hi Markus,
                  Can you send me your design.mat and design.con files? Do all the fragments pause at the same iteration?

Many Regards

Matthew

Dear Matthew!

You recently sent me this correction of the the script randomise_parallel (see your mail below), in order to correct for the problem that there were to many SEED fragments in the folder to be deleted properly at the end of the process.

After replacing that lines, I started a new randomise_parallel process the 30th January (=7 days ago),
with 8 contrasts and 32 subjects and I chose 5000 permutations.

What puzzles me now is:
The process is still running (I have 8 CPU of 3GHz) AND the files are not updated any more since the 30 January (c.f. *ls -lrt* for the stats folder in attachment).

the **generate.e** files have this warning:

Warning: You have demeaned your data, but at least one design column has non-zero mean

the **generate.o** files say this:
