[gmx-users] Continuation a run with checkpoint issue

[Berk Hess]

Hi,

You have explicitly specified md_0_1_prev.cpt instead of md_0_1.cpt as checkpoint.
So you are using the previous checkpoint instead of the last one.
The final result will be fine, but you will be redoing part of a simulation
that you had already done.
