this is not a QE issue, but a bash/Linux issue. Try the two following commands, in your terminal:
ls *( ls *\( The first will report the same issue as that you experienced, the second one properly works. When you input a command in a terminal, the operating system interprets “(“ or “)” as special characters. If a file name contains a “(“ or a “)” you should escape those characters with a “\”. So the command ~/Downloads/espresso-5.2.0/bin/sumpdos.x ~/FAPIis.pdos.pdos_atm#2\(I\)_wfc#1\(s\) ~/FAPIis.pdos.pdos_atm#3\(I\)_wfc#1\(s\) ~/FAPIis.pdos.pdos_atm#4\(I\)_wfc#1\(s\) > FAPIis.pdos.I_1\(s\).txt should properly work or at least should not issue the error message you have reported.
