Dr. Case,
The version of AMBER I used is 7. I used it on ohio super computer center.
The reason I used nrun parameter is that I found it in one tutorial example
..in file.
http://http://amber.ch.ic.ac.uk/tutorial/polyA-polyT_New/index.html
A worse thing is that I misread the manual of AMBER7 by using description of
NRUN in GIBBS section.
When I used nrun paramter, the sander program did run on back ground. When
using bq command, I can see the elapse time did increase. But there is no
any output, only .out file appear, and the size is zero. After exceeding the
set running time for the job, the job was killed and still no output.
Thanks again for your help. I wouldn't use this paramter in sander anymore.
Yours Sincerely,
Peng Tao
