output files #64

The spearmint is creating the output/0000*.out files, but not writing anything inside it. It is creating the job files and trace files with the content. It also writes the best results file.

What might be leading to this issue? I am using the following command to run the file. 

nohup python main.py --driver=local --method=GPEIOptChooser --method-args=noiseless=1 config.pb --method-args=use_multiprocessing=0 &

That's strange. Is your function writing to stdout?

This main.py is the file is from the git repo and my function is returning the final result value. And the print statements for the terminal is being written to the nohup.out.

JasperSnoek commented 8 years ago

Ah, the files are probably empty because nohup is redirecting the output. Can you try running the command without nohup?

Okay, will try that and update.

Thanks

I have tried it multiple times without the nohup and still in the background, but in these cases as soon as the connection is lost the script stops running. So I am not able to make this work without nohup. Any ideas how can this be fixed in case of using with nohup?

Can you use 'screen' or tmux instead?
