I'm running a raxml - fast bootstrap for a multiple alignment of short sequences. 

Command : nohup `for i in *.phy; do raxmlHPC-PTHREADS-SSE3 -s $i -n $i.out  -m GTRGAMMAI -T 8 -f a -x 13 -N 500 > $i.log; done` &

The process terminates randomly while bootstrapping. I've attached the ".log" file and the ".out" file

Please help me if possible. 

Thanks,

Nachiket

can you please upgrade to RAxMl version 8.0.6

https://github.com/stamatak/standard-RAxML/releases

and then let me know if the error is still there.

Also, judging by your script below it seems that you may be
over-subscribing the cores on the node you are using, each thread should
run on a separate physical core.

I installed the latest version of raxml from here : 

However, now I am getting

Error message:
