  • Cuffmerge error file never signals "done"...is this normal?

    Hello all,

    I'm fairly new to the bioinformatics world and am trying to combine several gtf files with cuffmerge. My shell script is as follows:

    Code:
    #!/bin/bash
    
    /home/usr/bin/cufflinks-2.2.1.Linux_x86_64/cuffmerge -p 8 -s /home/usr/hg19_genome/hg19.mfa gtf_names
    where gtf names is a text file containing the gtf filenames, one per line. The job seems to run to completion, producing the expected merged.gtf. However, an error fie is also produced stating the following:

    Code:

    My concern is that the error file never gives a "done" message to indicate successful completion...is this to be expected? Thank you in advance for your help!

    Should be ok. I don't think cuffmerge writes a "done" message to the log file.
