I ran into a similar problem using ferret v5.53 in linux RH9
environment. I was able to run the script using the memsize command line option ferret [-memsize Mwords] like so: ferret -memsize 100 -script myscript.jnl Hein Zelle wrote: Dear ferret developers, I have a script that I want to run with ferret -script myscript.jnl using Ferret v5.53 in linux. The first line of the script is set memory/size=100 The script works fine when used interactively, but with the -script option ferret ends up in an endless loop, reading my ~/.ferret file over and over and over again. If I remove the set memory line, everything works well.
