If I could tell you that, there would be no reason to have cpptraj :-).
Seriously though, your best bet here is to just make sure you
understand what input you are providing cpptraj with (i.e. read the
manual entries for each command and keyword you are using), and
actually look at the output messages that cpptraj produces - pay
special attention to anything starting with 'Warning:' or 'Error:'.
Lastly, as when running all things for the first time, trying a small
subset of your data (ideally something that will complete in less than
1 minute) is recommended so you can get an idea for what output is
produced, run timing, etc. This will also help you catch annoying
problems that will waste your time if tried on the larger set of data.
Unfortunately clustering is very much an art form, not a science, so
be prepared for a lot of trial and error. And of course, if you
haven't already, I highly recommend you read the *best* paper on
clustering of MD trajectory data by Shao, Cheatham et al:
