[gmx-users] mdrun -c option "did not work"

[Jérôme Baffreau]

Thank you for your answer David.

Actually no my run did not finish normally the first time (it has been 
stopped after 7 days because of the time limitation on the cluster it was 
running on). So I started it again (I ran the same command and added the 
option "-append yes") and this time the calculation finished normally, but 
when I look at the md.log file it looks like the second run did not add 
anything since it stops in the middle of a line (in the middle of a word 
actually!)...

Maybe I just did not use the correct command to start this calculation 
again, that would explain the end of the md.log and the "no-generation" of 
the final structure.

What option(s) should I use with trjconv? Actually I already tried to use 
this command, but it generated a 200 MB pdb file which was not my aim!
