You can restore coordinates from a trajectory file, e.g.

trajin input.nc 30 30 # selects frame 30 only
trajout restart.rst7

but unless you were also writing velocities (i.e. ntwv != 0) you
cannot create a true restart file. If you have a separate velocity
trajectory you can use those velocities with the 'mdvel' keyword, e.g.

trajin input.nc 30 30 mdvel vel.nc

or if you wrote a combined coordinate/velocity trajectory (NetCDF
only) the velocities will be read in automatically.

You can generate random starting velocities for a new MD run according
to a temperature distribution by running with irest=0, ntx=1, and
ig=-1.

Hope this helps,

-Dan
