'arb [filename]'
-
Starts the main program ARB_NT which also includes the database
server.
-
The database server is memory based. That means:
-
All changes are only temporary until the
database is saved.
-
The database is a single file which can be copied,
deleted, renamed ...
-
The database file should have the suffix '.arb'.
'arb_clean'
Stops all your ARB processes and removes all temporary files in
the /tmp directory.
It does not kill non-arb processes. That means if you start
programs via the GDE interface you have to stop them yourself:
(phylip, desoete, ...)
enter 'ps -ux' or 'ps -f'
search the process-id PID and kill it with
'kill -9 PID'
'arb_panic'
-
Sends a signal (HANGUP) to ARB_NT to force saving the
database in ASCII mode.
Because arb_panic bypasses any running operation of ARB_NT,
-
THE SAVED DATABASE MAY CONTAIN INCONSISTENT DATA.
-
It interactively asked for file name and whether it should
kill arb after saving.
'arb_2_ascii filename [dest_filename]'
-
Converts any ARB database to ASCII format.
-
Also tries to recover corrupt files (if dest_filename is skipped).
Backup first!!!
´arb_2_bin [-m] [-r] [-c][tree_xxx] database [newdatabase]´
-
Purpose: Converts a database to binary format
-
