hi everyone!
i am trying to run stata on unix in batch mode, and it seems not to be
working. if i enter:
stata -s do fe
where fe is the name of the do file i am trying to run, i get the next
prompt, but then when i check "ps" or "top" my job isn't there. also,
the log file isn't being written to my h drive.
alternatively, if i try to run the job in the background by typing
stata -b do fe &
where fe is the name of the do file i am trying to run, i get the
following output:
[1] 4570
tucson.Princeton.EDU%
[1] Done stata -s do fe\
and still, i can't find the job anywhere, or the output from the job.
in the do-file, i specify the directory, set the memory, and open the
file to be used. does anyone know what i am doing wrong?
thanks in advance for any advice you can offer!
traci
