3dttest++ -clustsim Syntax error: Bad fd number

AFNI Message Board
1

Hi,

I use the new -clustsim option of 3dttest++ recently.
I always meet the error message below.

++ t-test randomsign:sh: 1: Syntax error: Bad fd number
sh: 1: Syntax error: Bad fd number

Although the error message is displayed, the 3dttest++ continues and finally with results.

Is this a potential problem need further care?

The output information for the -clustsim section:

++ ================ Starting -clustsim calculations ================

(1) the important thing is that 3dClustSim ran and seemed OK
(2) you must be using an older version, since the output text format has changed somewhat, and more iterations are now the default

As far as the ‘Bad fd number’ error goes, it comes from the shell that is invoked to run the 3dttest++ -randomsign iterations. My guess is you are using Ubuntu, since that error message only seems to come from that type of system, and is due to the remarkable fact that they replaced the default bash shell with another shell that uses a different syntax.
