Carvalho: I think it would be very nice if the user could tick a box in either BEAUti or BEAST to execute multiple runs of the same analysis (run_i would be appended to the file stem). It would be a nice way of \"reminding\" users they need to run their stuff with multiple seeds (starting points) to ensure proper convergence. Personally, it'd come in very handy for me, too."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/CompEvol/beast2/issues/comments/182182503","html_url":"https://github.com/CompEvol/beast2/issues/504#issuecomment-182182503","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/CompEvol/beast2/issues/504","id":182182503,"user":{"login":"rbouckaert","id":3612959,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3612959?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/rbouckaert","html_url":"https://github.com/rbouckaert","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rbouckaert/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rbouckaert/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rbouckaert/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rbouckaert/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rbouckaert/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rbouckaert/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rbouckaert/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rbouckaert/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rbouckaert/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-02-10T03:32:15Z","updated_at":"2016-02-10T03:32:15Z","body":"It is possible to set up separate directories and use the -prefix argument for each BEAST process to point it to the correct directory. However, I am not quite sure how to report progress on each of the processes -- just showing the screen log for each of the processes in a single screen would not be very illuminating. I suppose each process can run in its own window, which is fine when started from the GUI, but probably not desirable when running from the CLI.\r\n"}}
