Hi,
The numbers you report or job IDs, so yes, they will be different each time you run something new. They have no bearing on the results. When you use the GUI it will only collect information, all computations are always run by the command line tool - either explicitly when using the command-line or implicitly by virtue of the GUI calling the command-line tool. There are some differences in the report output between the two ways of calling melodic purely related to either melodic writing a stand-alone set of outputs or melodic writing web pages designed to appear within a set of feat output pages. Other than that the only differences between different runs (no matter if these were initiated from the GUI or the command-line) are due to standard run-to-run variability of ICA. Bottom-line: no, you do not need to run the GUI.
