remoteconvert.pl
This program resides at/regis/sbeams/remoteconvert.pl
Sample invocations:
# View usage information remoteconvert.pl
# View the options available for each converter remoteconvert.pl --showOptions
# Convert RAW files to mzXML using ReAdW with centroiding remoteconvert.pl --default *.RAW
# Convert RAW files using msconvert with centroiding # (The command below did not work for me) remoteconvert.pl --convertWith msconvert --mzXML --filter 'peakPicking true [1,2]' --server THEMIS
