Dear justin,

The job was terminated as under:

vol 0.92  imb F  1% step 5860300, will finish Sun Nov 15 06:56:32 2009
=>> PBS: job killed: walltime 86438 exceeded limit 86400
mpiexec: killing job...

i think due to queueing system and maximum time being 24hrs.

i donot know how to know whether new cpt files are written all the
files i have are the same 2 cpt files state.cpt and state_prev.cpt.

when i did gmxcheck on both cpt files the output was
Checking file state.cpt

# Atoms  31609

Item        #frames Timestep (ps)

for state_prev.cpt

# Atoms  31609

when the run is extended for the second time do gromacs generate a new
cpt file i mean with new name or same named files (state.cpt and
state_prev.cpt) with new check points written..

Please help

Thanks,

Ram
