fastx_clipper run forever and never finish

Question

[xiaoleiusc]

Hi everyone,

I have fastx_toolkit installed by Conda in Mac OS X and works well for a while, but these days I found that fastx_clipper started a job but never complete the job after several hours (and no CPU usage during fastx_clipper run, usually I noticed fastx_clipper takes 100% CPU resource during normal runs). Have anyone experienced similar problems? I am trying to fix it but without success.

Thanks,

Xiao

Do yourself a favor and use a more recent and faster alternative such as cutadapt, fastp, bbduk from BBmap suite, trimmomatic. fastx is very old.
