Hi Dylan,

Dimon, like Imon before it, was written to monitor images
files as they get created at the scanner. So it is meant
to run forever, unless the user says otherwise.

If it has processed all of your files, you can use ctrl-c
to tell it to quit (note the message at the top of your
output).

When it is run off-line, the user does not generally want
to bother with waiting and hitting ctrl-c. So there is
the '-quit' option that tells it to quit once it stops
finding new image files.

See "Dimon -help", and note the examples section that says
(no real-time options).

Also, since you are using '-infile_prefix', you do not
need a wildcard. That would be for '-infile_pattern'.
Your command might be written:

Dimon -dicom_org -infile_prefix CIVS_PILOT.MR.0002 -quit

---

Note that this program should use very limited resources, as
it was written not to disturb the scanner. I am surprised to
hear you say it was eating a lot of processing power. If you
have interest in pursuing it, I would like to know in what way
it was working hard (memory, CPU, etc).

Thanks,

- rick
