Yambo Community Forum

Dear amolina：
I try to write a shell script to automatically submit yambo calculations and run them on my cluster.Some sentences are like this： which is writen in the auto.sh.
However,when I run the auto.sh ,I will enter the vi compilation environment(after yambo -i or then after yambo -r -x -p p -g n),So what can I do to save and exit vi so that I can continue with the next command：yambo -r -x -p p -g n?
That puzzle me ,please give me some help
Best wishes

Dear Quixiao,

Please note, this is neither a yambo nor a yambo-py related question.
Anyway, my suggestion here is to prepare template input files beforehand, and next handle them at your wish in the bash script.

Best,
Daniele

Dear Quixiao,
Daniele is right, this is not a yambo-py related question. However, my suggestion is to use yambo-py to create input files with a script. You can use the class PwIn and follow the documentation available on the Yambo Wiki.

Following your question using shell script, have you tried adding -Q at the end of the command? It works for me with Yambo 5.1.

``` yambo -i -Q ```
or

``` yambo -r -x -p p -g n -Q ```

In this way, you will create input files with flags set to their default values. I recommend editing those.

Best,
Riccardo

Dear all:
Thanks a lot for your help! -Q is very useful for my calculation.
Best wishes!
