madevent and nohup

Asked by Jan Hajer

Hi,

I have generated events with madgraph using nohup.
In the end I got an error message complaining that the unweighted_events.lhe.gz is not a gz file and indeed it is only a lhe file.
I have simple renamed the file to unweighted_events.lhe.
Now I want to run the rest of the programs (madspin->pyhtia->delphes).
What would be the command to start this chain non-interactively using nohup?
I already tried various possibilities involving 'madevent' with 'decay_events' and '-f'.

Best,
Jan

All post-processing tools can be indeed called from the ./bin/madevent shell

You can write a file with all the command that you want to run
And then do
nohup ./bin/madevemt PATH_TO_YOUR_FILE

Note that we never test that script with nohup. We had problem with nohup with ./bin/mg5_aMC but those are fixed now (I guess) so in principle it should be also fixed
For this executable but we did not test.

Cheers,

Olivier
