Re: [AMBER] stopping simulation in between

Dear Dan,



Thanks a lot for the reply.



Actually, i ran it in parallel giving all the processors to it to run.

now i have to run another simulation on it,thats why i wanted to stop the first one. otherwise finishing the previous job will still take 2-3 days on my system to be over. otherwise running two jobs together will not be a good idea otherwise.



Thanks for help.

There is no clean way to stop the simulation before it hits nstlim,



you have to kill it with kill -9 or something similar. Be aware



that if you happen to kill the simulation in the middle of a



trajectory write you could end up with a partial frame at the end, but



even worse if you happen to kill the simulation in the middle of



writing a restart you will not be able to restart the simulation, so I



would be very cautious in attempting this.
