Be aware this is not necessarily true depending on what kind of
simulation you are doing. In particular if you are using the Langevin
thermostat the random number stream will be different, so the
trajectory of your restarted run from X to Y will probably not match
the previous run from X to Y.

You can do this in cpptraj/ptraj by specifying appropriate frame
ranges to your trajin argument. For example, say your first trajectory
crashed at frame 105 and you are restarting from frame 100 (assuming
the second traj didnt crash as well):
trajin traj1 1 100
trajin traj2
trajout combined
Hope this helps,
