  • $\begingroup$ Could you tell me more about how to use the awk to watch the data as it is being calculated, I am not sure how to do it? And is it necessary that I tar all the data into a single file before I download them? $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 11, 2021 at 18:18

    $\begingroup$ @Jack It's not necessary to tar all the data into one file, but it can have some benefits (speed of file transfer often being one of them). If you ask a new question about using awk command to watch data, and you provide your specific output file and which numbers in it that you want to watch, I can try to help you. Today is a holiday in my country (Thanksgiving in Canada) so I might not be able to reply immediately, but I'll try to reply as soon as I can. $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 11, 2021 at 18:22

  • $\begingroup$ @NikeDattani In some cases downloading output files could become cumbersome especially, if you HPC admin has setup some security measures that might prevent upload and download of heavy files from the remote instance. $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 13, 2021 at 5:02
