Unknown KO Error #37

Closed Kekananen closed 5 months ago

Kekananen commented 5 months ago

Hello! I've come across a strange issue that happens when running multiple instances of kofamscan at once. Error: Unknown KO: /dev/null is thrown for one of the instances running wile the other completes. This is making it difficult to run in batches. Is there a way around this problem?

commmand:

./exec_annotation --cpu 20 -p ../../../2023/annotation_comparison/analysis/profiles/ -k ../../../2023/annotation_comparison/analysis/ko_list --format mapper -o ../../kegg_annotations/147893.tsv ../../translated_files/GTDB/faa/147893.faa

Answering my own issue. If you assign a different temporary directory for each run instead of relying on the default, then this issue doesn't occur.
