Turns on -TEST.Do not display a prompt until the job finishes.Note:The -NO_REDIRECT command-line option to the $SCHRODINGER/bmin script isincompatible with distributed jobs.Jobs are automatically run in the background, and the UNIX command prompt is displayedwithout waiting for the job to finish. The -WAIT option can be used to prevent the commandprompt from being displayed until after the job finishes:$SCHRODINGER/bmin -WAIT jobnameThe actual MacroModel process is still run in the background, so pressing CTRL+C or CTRL+Zdoes not affect it.2.1.3 Storage of Temporary FilesBy default, MacroModel jobs are run from a scratch directory, rather than from the one inwhich the job was started up. The scratch directory is generally on the local file system. Adetailed description of how Job Control selects the scratch directory is given in Section 2.4 ofthe Job Control Guide.When the job is started, its input files are copied to the scratch directory. While the job runs,temporary job files are maintained in the scratch directory. During the run, the .log file is periodicallycopied back to the directory from which the job was started. When job monitoringfrom Maestro is in effect, structural monitoring files are also copied back periodically. Theseshow how the structure is changing during the job. You can specify the interval in seconds atwhich these files are copied back with the -INTERVAL option. When the job finishes, theoutput files are copied back to the original startup directory.MacroModel runs from the job startup directory if you use the -LOCAL option when runningthe job:$SCHRODINGER/bmin -LOCAL jobnameSee Section 2.2 on page 17 for a description of the how to use the job control facility to interactwith running MacroModel jobs.MacroModel 9.7 Reference Manual 13
