I'm trying to run some quality control on aligned RNA Sequence reads, these were aligned and merged into single files using STAR and SAMTOOLS. I've noticed the file name of QC.xxxxxxxxxxxx.log changes to random values and the program is trying to find this random file for whatever reason which of course doesn't exist. The resulting error is "Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: /gpfs/ts0/projects/Research_Project-T113519/qc_collection/QoRTs_output/QC.9gZCUFz5rnuA.log (No such file or directory)"
