Running

The batch script can be run in two ways. It can be run directly from the run_batch perl script located in the bin directory as in
bin/./run_batch batch_file
where batch_file is the file that contains the instructions for the batch script. If this method is used, the environment variable $CALCHEP must first be set which refers to the CalcHEP main directory. The batch script can also be invoked with the calchep_batch shell script in the users directory as in
./calchep_batch batch_file
where, again, batch_file is the file that contains the instructions for the batch script. The default calchep_batch shell script automatically sets the $CALCHEP environment variable and then invokes run_batch from the bin directory. As the batch script runs, it continuously updates these html files with the current progress of the batch. The frequency of the updates can be set in the batch file with the key phrase "sleep time".
