see if alias and source would work on your system to override
the rm command for the current terminal or job script.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Example:</font></p>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">alias rm=""<br>
source run_lapw <font color="#0000ff"># rm should hopefully be
disabled by the rm alias using this line</font><br>
run_lapw <font color="#0000ff"># rm should hopefully act normally
with script using rm command in the PATH using this line</font><br>
<br>
Hope that helps,<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Is there an
easy way from stopping run_lapw from deleting the .time
files it creates in each step? I am fighting crashes and MPI
communication errors on a cluster running old versions of
Intel MPI, and a lot of MPI debugging information gets sent
to the .time files. Some of the debugging information I
cannot easily redirect away from stdout. I could comment
out the “rm .time” steps in the script, but I am hoping
there is a way to stop this behavior temporarily without
modifying the execution script.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
