Checkpoint files are written at the interval specified by -cpt.  Unless you've 
set that to 0 (or -1, I can't remember) then mdrun will write them 
automatically.  You should see that happen within a few minutes (whatever the 
value of -cpt is set to, 15 by default).

This is probably a stupid question, but, to resubmit it starting from the point where I left it, do I only have to run the MD again with the output files of the previous one, like this?
