vbbatch

vbbatch(1)							 The VoxBo Manual							vbbatch(1)

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  deriva-
       tives.

CAVEATS

       VoxBo is provided with no warranty whatsoever.
