[Wien] Bandstructure with SOC

[Peter Blaha]

I think   x spaghetti -p -so -up works fine.

My guess: You probably destroyed your .processes file before the 
spaghetti step ? Most likely because of doing this in an extra batch job ?

You must describe your procedure much more exactly, otherwise one can 
only "guess" what could cause the problem.
Please cut and paste your actual job/commands, not type them in (with 
missing some important details).

Apparently you did this in batch jobs (one or 2 or 3 different ones) ???

so far ok.
Is the lapw2 step done in the same batch job ??

> x lapw2 -band -qtl -up -p

This misses a   -so  switch !!!
and what about   x lapw2 -band -so -qtl -dn -p  ???
You will get only the qtlup file, thus cannot do the spin-dn projections 
in a fat band plot.

I would never use a batch job for the spaghetti step. This is so short 
and should be done on the frontend!!!

It says:  ... created from 0 parallel files.

The x script needs to know how many parallel jobs you had used for 
lapw1/so. It does it using a   .processes file

what gives:
ls -als .processes
cat .processes

Does it still exist and contains the 32 processes you talked in some 
other mail ??  I expect you destroyed it in the second batch job.

-------------------
Anyway, the fix is easy as indicated by Oleg in a previous mail. 
Concatenate all outputso_* files into one single outputso file.
     cat case.outputso_1 > case.outputso
     cat case.outputso_2 >> case.outputso
     cat case.outputso_3 >> case.outputso
     etc...
Then run   x spaghetti -so -up  (but WITHOUT  -p)
and probably   also   x spaghetti -so -dn (at least when you do fat bands).
