Hello Christian,

First, thank you for the speedy reply.

1. This was the source of the problem. After closing the GUI I could run the script that failed previously.

2. The GUI can remain open if I instead use the CREATE DB or CHECK commands rather than the OPEN command.

Hope you have a great day.

Hi Jordan,

The way you proceeded looks ok to me. Some questions:

1. Did you run any operations in parallel while the script was running
(such as checking the progress of the script via the GUI or another
CLI instance)?
2. Does the problem always occur after the same ADD operation in your script?
3. Does it work if you create a new database instead of opening an
existing one?…

CREATE DB exists
ADD /Users/user/Desktop/O-Lab/Examples/cubesat/BINARIES/BINARY-03abaa7c-18fd-40a4-a26b-4be24089cfe4
...

Thanks in advance
Christian
