Dear Muhammad Mushtaq,

In order to generate the k-path for your vasp input I recommend to use the SeeK-path tool from materials cloud: https://www.materialscloud.org/work/tools/seekpath.

Unfortunately, I can't help you with pbnd.x script because I'm not a vasp user. However, I suggest you try to post your request on the official forum support of VASP: https://www.vasp.at/forum/

Regards,

José Gadelha

Thanks@Jose Filho for your suggestions. In fact I have been using these scripts over a long time, but on a new HPC, they don't work (even after compilation).
