UNAFold

Posted: **Thu Feb 16, 2023 12:13 am**

On a Linux box mfold prints to stdout (or perhaps stderr) as it computes. And

$ mfold ... 1>/dev/null 2>&1

doesn't seem to eliminate this printing.

Is there a way to eliminate it?

I found a solution by executing the command in a separate bash screen:

e.g.

screen -dm bash -c "cd {output_dir} && mfold SEQ=rna_fasta.fasta"

"Quieting" mfold output
