How to generate an output file during a parallel run on MAC OS X


Forum Vet
We know something similar to nwchem input.nw >& input.out can generate the output
during a sequential run, but "mpirun -np 8 $NWCHEM_TOP/bin/$NWCHEM_TARGET/nwchem input.nw" in some cases only generates the output in the bash. Adding ">& input.out" does not work.
Some files like .movecs are not readable.
    Thanks for your advice.

Test h2o-bhlyp can generate it by adding ">input.out".

NWchem running but writing output file
Dear NWchem Users,
I am struggling with NWchem from quite some time. I am running geometry optimization. Optimization starts but later on it does not write anything. Request your kind suggestions in this regard.

Input file:
memory total 30000 mb
title "3AT_optimization"
echo

         Convergence Information
-----------------------
Convergence aids based upon iterative change in
total energy or number of iterations.
Levelshifting, if invoked, occurs when the
HOMO/LUMO gap drops below (HL_TOL): 1.00D-02
DIIS, if invoked, will attempt to extrapolate
using up to (NFOCK): 10 stored Fock matrices.
