This is bash syntax meaning use the value of $GALAXY_SLOTS or if undefined, default to 4 (the minus sign seems to be there just to confuse everyone - joke - it is not Galaxy's fault). The value will depend on how your job runners are configured, for example we use SGE and set the threads there on a tool by tool basis, e.g. ncbi_blastp_wrapper = drmaa://-V -pe smp 4/ That results in SGE allocating 4 threads, and Galaxy will therefore set $GALAXY_SLOTS to four. In your case, evidently $GALAXY_SLOTS was set to one. Peter ___________________________________________________________ Please keep all replies on the list by using "reply all" in your mail client.
