# This command will take some amount of time to finish. Move onto the next task while you wait, and later when it has finished copying do the next command
cd $SCRATCH/BDIB_Human_tutorial/rawfiles
gunzip * # this will unzip all the compressed files you have just copied |
Remember we can add the -v option to the cp command if we like some extra peace of mind that files are actually copying and that our terminal hasn't locked up, but that isn't as useful when running in the background.
