Just to add to what David said: If the job manager sends a SIGHUP (kill 
-1) 30 seconds before it really kills the job, Gromacs will save the 
current frame in the trajectory and finish in a clean way. If this 
works you don't have to make sure the simulation is shorter than 24 
hours.

You can then add a tpbconv command in your job script and just have 
Gromacs do automatic continuations indefinitely.

Cheers,

Erik
