I have a series of mop-files that need to be run in MOPAC, however each should start when the previous has finished. How can I do that? In windows it is written as:
REM
REM How to run several MOPAC2016 jobs with one command.
REM
REM Use the program "MOPAC2016 for all windows" version of MOPAC.
REM Do NOT use the program "MOPAC2016 for WINDOWS XP" - if you do
REM it will request a finish dialogue ("Program finished with exit code 0.
REM Exit Window?)
REM
REM Use commands of the following type to run all the jobs.
REM
call MOPAC2016.exe job1
call MOPAC2016.exe job2
call MOPAC2016.exe job3
call MOPAC2016.exe job4
Nevertheless, this does not obviously work in Linux
I have no idea what MOPAC is, but assuming you have an implementation that runs on LINUX, and can be invoked from the command line, use BASH to turn a single command into a sequence of commands.
Create a file, let us call it filename.sh, that starts with "#!/bin/bash". Subsequent lines that start with "#" are comments, equivalent to REM in your Windows example. Instead of "call" just write the command that invokes MOPAC as you would write it on the command line.
