Hi,

The '-A' flag tells sander to append to all output files (mdout, mdcrd
etc) which can be a bit messy if all of your file names don't match up
(plus there is potential to overwrite your input coordinates if e.g.
you accidentally give them the same name as your restart files) so I
personally wouldn't recommend it.

In my opinion your best option is to restart the run in a separate
directory using the restart files generated from the first run (i.e.
the files specified by the '-r' flag in your groupfile). So for
example, say your groupfile from the first run looks something like
this:

-O -rem 1 -remlog rem.log -i in.000 -p topology.parm7 -c
initial.000.rst7 -o rem.out.000 -r run0.000.rst7 -x rem.nc.000
-O -rem 1 -remlog rem.log -i in.001 -p topology.parm7 -c
initial.001.rst7 -o rem.out.001 -r run0.001.rst7 -x rem.nc.001

Copy the restart files (in this case run0.*.rst7) to a new directory.
The groupfile for the restart run will look something like:

-O -rem 1 -remlog rem.log -i in.000 -p topology.parm7 -c run0.000.rst7
-o rem.out.000 -r run1.000.rst7 -x rem.nc.000
-O -rem 1 -remlog rem.log -i in.001 -p topology.parm7 -c run0.001.rst7
-o rem.out.001 -r run1.001.rst7 -x rem.nc.001

Make sure that you have ntx=5 and irest=1 set in the input file of the
restart run.
