To whom it corresponds,

I'm running xplor-nih on a linux box. By running a command of the type 
"xplor < protocol.inp" one gets the xplor screen output which, on the other 
hand, can be redirected to a file by running "xplor < protocol.inp" > 
protocol.out" instead.

I'm doing some long runs which accumulate a lot of output of this kind 
(even when I use "set message=off echo=off end" a lot in my protocols), 
generating such big .out files that linux kills the job. To avoid this I 
could do away with the standard output redirection, so that it appears on 
screen without saving it to a file. However, getting screen output does not 
allow you to run the job on background and I'm afraid it can also slow down 
the job (I'm not exactly sure of this last one).

Is there a way to avoid getting any output at all? I run my protocols under 
xplor scripting language; does the python interface behave in the same way?

Thank you in advance.
