Re: [AMBER] How to read mdinfo file without crashing the simulation?

So with pmemd, you can run for an arbitrary amount of time, and then the
moment you 'cat mdinfo' the simulation crashes on resource unavailable,
and the contents of pmemd are different each time, and if you don't look
at the file, the job runs to completion?
