              I have seen it, while executing do_dssp with the .xtc file I have seen those commands.

  Hi Sangeeta,


Your out dose not say that the programme is really running.
Can you try with .trr and .tpr file and see you get something at
the bottom of the output like:

Reading frame       0 time    0.000
Back Off! I just backed up ddQmCBhK to ./#ddQmCBhK.1#
Reading frame      20 time   40.000

Dear Abu and Mark,
  
     You asked me, whether my computer is shared by many, it is not, I think the program was not hanged because while executing do_dssp -v as usual Gromacs output was given,

      Hi Sangeeta,

Let me ask you few questions in order to solve the problem.

Are you sure your do_dssp prog were running or it was hanged?
To make sure please try using verbose output using -v option.

Is your computer shared among too many people?

What is the file permission status of dssp?

To find out use: ls -l /directory/where/you/put/dssp

If you see any restricton to file permission change it to

chmod a+rx dssp

Hope this will help.

Dear All,
 
            I do not know whether I am interrupting you again and again by asking the same question, but I am helpless , I can not detect my fault, When I run the program DSSP it works fine, but while executing do_dssp or my_dssp (as suggested by Yang) the program seems to be never ending, intermediate files are prepared for some time, but I never got any .xpm files, I can not understand whether my system is not working, or I am making any mistake, but all the other programs of Gromacs like pdb2gmx, editconf , genbox, grompp, mdrun etc are going on successfully, problem lies only in case of dssp, I was suggested by Mark to try dssp independently on a single snapshot extracted from the trajectory,  I took the snapshot of the protein after 500ps  with the command trjconv -f md.xtc -s md.tpr -o time_500ps.pdb -dump 500
  (I think the command is correct, if not I earnestly request you to rectify my mistake), When I ran do_dssp on this single structure I waited for 3 days, but it did not finish and seems to be neverending, then I killed the program, In order to get that particular coloured plot of secondary structure vs time which method should I adopt? Seeking your help and thanks in advance.
 
  regards
  SANGEETA
