It is possible that $frame is not being expanded as you think
inside the stdin of ptraj.
You might want to capture and read the stdout of ptraj.
Perhaps something like this would work:
$ptraj prmtop << EOF | tee ptraj.$frame.output
Or, restruture you loop to create one long shell script with no loops, and
run that instead. If you can create a short script which produces the
required rst file, then you ought to be OK for a longer run which repeats
that code.
The third "offset" parameter to trajin might be useful. If you set this
to 10000 for a 1000 frame coordinate file, that should ensure that only
one frame is processed.
You start with frame=0, but I believe ptraj starts numbering of frames
from 1. That may be part of the problem.
