If the desired .cpt file is md.cpt, then mdrun -deffnm md -cpi suffices.  If you 
need a previous .cpt file (i.e. md_prev.cpt), then you must specify its name 
explicitly.  Depending on why the run crashed, simply restarting may not be 
worthwhile.  If the crash was due to the system blowing up, it is a waste of 
time and you should investigate the crash.  If it was a hardware failure, disk 
error, etc. then continuing from a checkpoint is fine.
