Empty str.out and wait files from sqs2tdb (WSL-Ubuntu)

Alloy Theoretic Automated Toolkit (ATAT)

I’ve noticed that when I generate SQSs with sqs2tdb, I find that the str.out file is empty, alongside a "wait" file and a str.in file that matches the corresponding bestsqs.out file in /atat/data/sqsdb/.

In my terminal (WSL-Ubuntu), I run:

~/programs/atat/bin/sqs2tdb -cp -sp=Ge,Pb,O -l=RUTILE_C4 -lv=1

Which gives the output below:

Smartmatch is experimental at ~/programs/atat/bin/sqs2tdb line 720.
Using species: Ge,Pb,O
Edit the file RUTILE_C4/species.in (if needed) and rerun the same command.

As instructed, I re-run the same command, and get:

sh: 1: cellcvrt: not found
sh: 1: Syntax error: "&" unexpected
sh: 1: nntouch: not found

followed by:

Copied SQSs

Nevertheless, the str.in, str.out and wait files are generated, though the str.out and wait files are empty.

When I re-run a third time, I get:

Smartmatch is experimental at /home/limi/programs/atat/bin/sqs2tdb line 720.
Using species: Ge,Pb,O
Copied SQSs

And no further changes to the RUTILE_C4 folder.

Firstly: Any ideas as to why this would be occurring?

Secondly: What is the difference between str.out and str.in, if str.in already matches the bestsqs.out?

Thirdly: Why is there a wait file if the bestsqs.out has already been generated?

I cannot reproduce your error. Are you using an old version of ATAT?
