Cuffdiff - Error in running cuffdiff by using the merged transcriptome assembly along with the BAM files from TopHat

hello everyone, I ran cuffdiff using following command:

cuffdiff -o ./diff_out -b ./genome.fa -p 7 -L c1,c2 -u ./merged.gtf \
./accepted_hits_S1.bam,./accepted_hits_S2.bam,./accepted_hits_S3.bam ./accepted_hits_S4.bam,./accepted_hits_S5.bam,./accepted_hits_S6.bam,./accepted_hits_S7.bam,./accepted_hits_S8.bam,./accepted_hits_S9.bam,./accepted_hits_S10.bam,./accepted_hits_11.bam,./accepted_hits_S12.bam

And the output was:

Killed

please help me out.

rna-seq rna-seq next-gen

Please highlight code and data examples as well as error messages:

cuffdiff -o ./diff_out -b ./genome.fa -p 7 -L c1,c2 -u ./merged.gtf \ ./accepted_hits_S1.bam,./accepted_hits_S2.bam,./accepted_hits_S3.bam ./accepted_hits_S4.bam,./accepted_hits_S5.bam,./accepted_hits_S6.bam,./accepted_hits_S7.bam,./accepted_hits_S8.bam,./accepted_hits_S9.bam,./accepted_hits_S10.bam,./accepted_hits_11.bam,./accepted_hits_S12.bam

this is the code.

there is no error, i just want to know why the process killed itself. The last line of the ouput states killed. why is that?

Please highlight code and data examples as well as error messages:

with the code option in the format bar, the one with the red box in my comment above :)

cuffdiff -o ./diff_out -b ./genome.fa -p 7 -L c1,c2 -u ./merged.gtf \ ./accepted_hits_S1.bam,./accepted_hits_S2.bam,./accepted_hits_S3.bam ./accepted_hits_S4.bam,./accepted_hits_S5.bam,./accepted_hits_S6.bam,./accepted_hits_S7.bam,./accepted_hits_S8.bam,./accepted_hits_S9.bam,./accepted_hits_S10.bam,./accepted_hits_11.bam,./accepted_hits_S12.bam
