Hi Pallavi,

I'm 100% sure all .dat files are out and whole job is done.
I had finished around ren mmpbsa.MPI jobs on Super Computer, about half of
them didn't terminate by themselves after all .dat files are produced. I
requested #PBS -j oe so I had all xxx.o12345678 file when job is done or
aborted due to wall time limit. It showed that mmpbsa job is done.

I also got reply back from Super Computer Tech Support. They said according
to their log, mmpbsa.MPI was running after all .dat files have been done.
They claimed that the pbs platform worked all right and they thought it's
because something is stuck in program.

What I can do right now is to restrict the wall time limit to minimum so
that I can save resource units (charged by super computer center) if the
program has to be aborted.
According to Kenneth's post, it happened to her, too. It might because some
minor issues in mmpbsa.MPI itself...

Thank you for the help! Overall, I think it's not a big problem. It will be
better if any developer could have a look and fix that.

Best,
Guqin
