Hey all,
Just a question from a novice computer guy; I am doing a lot of targeted capture analysis and basically have a script where commands are run one after the other (ie, align data, convert to .bam, sort, remove duplicates, etc). Without any type of sleep/pause commands between the steps, do I ever have to worry about the script moving on to the next command before the previous one is complete? I've been including them just to be careful but now I want to speed things up as much as possible (without risking screwing up the analysis). Are there scenarios where I do have to be careful about this? Thanks for any input!
