AFNI Message Board

Dear AFNI users-

We are very pleased to announce that the new AFNI Message Board framework is up! Please join us at:

https://discuss.afni.nimh.nih.gov

Existing user accounts have been migrated, so returning users can login by requesting a password reset. New users can create accounts, as well, through a standard account creation process. Please note that these setup emails might initially go to spam folders (esp. for NIH users!), so please check those locations in the beginning.

The current Message Board discussion threads have been migrated to the new framework. The current Message Board will remain visible, but read-only, for a little while.

Sincerely, AFNI HQ

Hi Yang,

Yes, that error message is incorrect, it should say "... no perms
to overwrite ... SUMA/Sub_SUMA_lh.spec". We will fix that, thanks.

There are two things that lead to this failure, I believe. One is
that your output file (SUMA/Sub_SUMA_lh.spec) already exists. And
the other is that you have the "noclobber" variable set. That error
message is printed because a redirection to the output file fails.
Since you have shown that your output file exists, and that you
get the error message, you must have noclobber set in your
~/.cshrc file (or someplace similar).

To verify this, enter the following command:

if ( $?noclobber ) echo yes

If the word "yes" is printed after this, it means that variable is
indeed set.

------------------

To get around this, since you do not allow redirection to overwrite
your files, please move the existing .spec files into some backup
directory (or delete them), and then re-run the script.

------------------

I will add a more specific error message for the case where the
"noclobber" variable prevents the update to an existing spec file.

Thanks,

- rick
