GSFITCP is the command prompt counterpart of the GSFIT GUI microwave spectral fitting application. Once started, GSFITCP is designed to run in unattended mode until all fitting tasks assigned to it are completed and log on the disk in an user-defined *.log file, the content of which may be visualized using the GSFITVIEW GUI application. When run remotely on an Linux/Mac platform, the GSFITCP may be launched on a detached screen, which allows the remote user to logout without stopping the process in which GSFITCP runs.
