Hello,

I am analysing 3'UTR sequences in Centrimo and so far I did not have any problems. With the last sequence I get this error: "centrimo process died with signal 9, without coredump". Could you tell me what it means please? Thank you very much

Signal 9 is the “terminate” signal. It indicates that you, or an administrator, or the OS itself, sent a signal to the program telling it to quit. This usually indicates that your computer was running out of working memory and the operating system killed the centrimo job in order to recover enough memory to continue functioning. You should find a record about centrimo being killed in /var/log/messages. Issues to consider: How much memory does your system have? How big was your sequence file? Were there other jobs running at the same time?
