You could make a python script that import pymol and does what you want from there.

Some thing like this (untested);

import __main__
__main__.pymol_argv = ['pymol','-cqk'] # Pymol: quiet and no GUI
import pymol
pymol.finish_launching()
from pymol import cmd

reffile = sys.argv[1]
tarfile = sys.argv[2]
outfile = sys.argv[3]

cmd.load(reffile, 'ref')
cmd.load(tarfile, 'tar')
cmd.align('ref', 'tar')
cmd.save(outfile, 'ref')


Then on the command line call it like: python my_align.py reffile.pdb target.pdb output.pdb

thank you very much!

so now only my question regarding the usage of the pymol commands in command line is still open

BTW could someone suggest me the shell utility to make quick superimposition of the tar.pdb to ref.pdb and save superimposed tar.pdb as the separate pdb (the TMalign is not good because it produce pdb with both merged layers (and its backbone trace only) as the result if -o flagg is provided)

Kind regards,

    You can use sed
    grep -h  '^\(ATOM\|HETATM\|END\)' tarr_se.pdb lipids.pdb | sed -e
    's/^END/TER/g'  > merged.pdb

    and do I need to pipe the below command to smth
    grep -h  '^\(ATOM\|HETATM\|END\)' tarr_se.pdb lipids.pdb   >
    merged.pdb

    if I need to change 'END' to 'TER' in the merged.pdb ?

        Use the -h flag with grep to suppress the filename.
        Also, you don't need to pipe to cat, you can write directly
        to the file.

        grep -h  '^\(ATOM\|HETATM\|END\)' tarr_se.pdb lipids.pdb   >
        merged.pdb

        ..and one question about grep (really didn't find it in the
        tutorial)

        using
grep '^\(ATOM\|HETATM\|END\)' tarr_se.pdb lipids.pdb |cat > merged.pdb

        I've obtained good pdb BUT each line prior to the ATOM the
        name of the pdb of the previous files have been added eg:

tarr_se.pdb:ATOM 1 N ASP X 1 35.722 8.306 92.256 0.00 0.00 N tarr_se.pdb:ATOM 2 CA ASP X 1 35.252 8.836 93.529 0.00 0.00 C tarr_se.pdb:ATOM 3 C ASP X 1 35.797 10.339 93.708 0.00 0.00 C tarr_se.pdb:ATOM 4 O ASP X 1 34.979 11.297 93.674 0.00 0.00 O tarr_se.pdb:ATOM 5 CB ASP X 1 35.593 7.984 94.698 0.00 0.00 C tarr_se.pdb:ATOM 6 CG ASP X 1 34.692 8.171 95.960 0.00 0.00 C tarr_se.pdb:ATOM 7 OD1 ASP X 1 33.481 8.453 95.823 0.00 0.00 O tarr_se.pdb:ATOM 8 OD2 ASP X 1 35.257 8.362 97.046 0.00 0.00 O1- tarr_se.pdb:ATOM 9 HA ASP X 1 34.180 9.033 93.580 0.00 0.00 H tarr_se.pdb:ATOM 10 HB2 ASP X 1 35.496 6.916 94.504 0.00 0.00 H tarr_se.pdb:ATOM 11 HB3 ASP X 1 36.648 7.969 94.970 0.00 0.00 H

        such pattern are always produced by grep
        so I'd like that tarr_se.pdb: have not been included (of
        course I can it remove easily after merging but this step is
        not good for me :) )

        Also i'll be very thankful for any useful grep awk sed
        tutorial in case of the bioinformatics application

            one question :)

            could someone explain me the ussage the pymol commands
            from the shell on the example
            e.g i need to load 2 pdbs in pymol make its
            superimposition and than save one of the superimposed pdb
            like
            load ref.pdb tar.pdb
            super tar, ref
            save tar > tar_superimposed.pdb

            I've tried to do part of this using
            pymol ref.pdb tarr.pdb -cd "super tarr ref"

            but eventually obtained error

                    --or--

                    tail -q -n '+2' protein.pdb lipid.pdb > merged.pdb
