NAME¶

vbbatch - run a command line multiple times with variable substitution

SYNOPSIS¶

vbbatch <flag> ...

DESCRIPTION¶

vbbatch is part of the VoxBo suite of tools for brain image analysis.

vbbatch allows you to run a command multiple times with some variable substitutions (typically replacing the token FILE with each of a set of filenames). The commands are then run in parallel. If a VoxBo cluster is detected, the jobs will be submitted to the cluster.

OPTIONS¶

EXAMPLES¶

To run myscript.sh on all your subjects' Anatomy directories:

vbbatch -c "myscript.sh FILE" study*/sub*/Anatomy -r

To run myperms.sh 1000 times at low priority, with different output files:

vbbatch -c "myperms.sh results_IND.nii.gz" -d 1000 -r -p xnice

AVAILABILITY¶

Pre-built VoxBo binaries are available for Linux, OSX, and Cygwin, and via the NeuroDebian project (neuro.debian.net) for Debian derivatives.
