[gmx-users] Resuming of calculation from last *.cpt

[James Starlight]

Justin,

I've used


grompp -f md_sd.mdp -c start.gro -t incomplete.cpt -p topol.top -o
incomplete.tpr
mpiexec -np 48 mdrun_mpi.openmpi -v -deffnm incomplete -append

where incomplete.cpt was checkpoint from previous run and -o
incomplete.tpr was the name for new trajectory (in that case its equal
to the name of old trajectory )

that produce new .trr .edr and other files and back up old ( e.g crete
#incomplete.trr etc) ones instead of continuation of the existing (
incomplete ) trajectory

What I've done wrong?
