TITLE           How to fix an 'exec' problem ?

OCCURRENCE      NDS + ACI exec - command

DESCRIPTION     If you use the exec command in the NDS window then
                you might have to wait extremely long:

                        number of species *
                        execution time of the command
                        (5000 species, 1.5 sec/exec) -> 2 hour waiting.

SECTION         WHAT TO DO

                The only way the to remove the exec command is:
                run arb_panic on any shell
                save the database to /tmp/panic.arb
                edit /tmp/panic.arb
                search the exec command
                replace it by the 'echo' command
                save file
                test it with 'arb /tmp/panic.arb'
                If everything works fine save it in your home directory
                enter 'arb_clean' on any shell
                remove /tmp/panic.arb

WARNINGS        Test your database very carefully because it may not be
                consistent.
                Check sequence checksum
