RE: AMBER: MD job stopped without any error information?

Dear Ying,

If you are running this simulation via a queuing system such as PBS it is
possible that the error message is being lost. I would try restarting your
simulation from the poitn where it stopped with 'identical' options in the
mdin file. Except irest=1 and ntx=5. In the restart I would try setting
ntpr=1 and ntwx=1 so you can see exactly how far it gets before it stops,
you can also watch the trajectory in detail to see if anything obvious is
going astray.

I would also run this restart simulation interactively on your own machine
so that you see any error messages (don't use a queing system). If you get
any more information please post it to the list and we will be able to
comment further.

All the best
Ross
