TURBOMOLE Modules => Define => Topic started by: ym21d@fsu.edu on May 19, 2023, 08:25:22 PM

I am using turbomole through the program PuTTY, which uses Unix line commands. I am trying to automate my workflow as much as possible. Is there a way that I can use the Unix line commands to utomate calling define movimg through each step, making the selections I want. Or, is there another way of automating define?
Thank you,

Hi,
sure, you can feed define any input with the standard approach in Unix:
define < define.in
where define.in contains the commands for define.
Define sessions can be "recorded" easily with the tee command, please see the script below for an example.
Best wishes,
Antti
#!/bin/bash
# defrec: Record define session to file for later usage
OUTNAME=define.in
program_usage(){
cat <<EOF
*****************************************************************
* defrec: Record define session to file for later usage *
*****************************************************************
Usage: defrec
- defrec records all commands given to define into file $OUTNAME
- After finishing define, interupt defrec with Ctrl+C
- The command file can then be executed in another job directory:
define < $OUTNAME
- Useful when you need to construct many similar Turbomole jobs.
