Check the status of a FreeSurfer recon-all process from its log file.

Parameters:

Path to the recon-all.log file.

commandstr

The name of the command-line that produces the log file - used as a selector to define the success phrase.

If no input log file.

ValueError

If the command-line is not supported.

Notes

• Success is determined by the presence of the phrase “finished without error” in the last lines of the log.

• Errors are detected by scanning for lines containing “ERROR:” or “FATAL:”.

• This function raises exceptions to signal failure or ambiguity, and does not return any value.
