Dear Eric,

Actually I have solved the issue. I believe the — no status option that I have used suppress the output to the terminal. Removing that option, I can see the rmsd value printed in the terminal.

Thanks for getting back to me.

Kind Regards

If you are in nogui mode, log output should simply go to the terminal that you are running Chimera from, and which you can redirect to a file.  Is that not what’s happening?
