Hello, Upon continuing a replica exchange MD simulation using the command
mdrun -cpi state.cpt -append -s tpr_remd20ns_.tpr -multi 48 -replex 10000 -cpt 60 -x xtcRemd_20ns.xtc -c afterRemd_20ns.gro -g logRemd_20ns.log -v -e edrRemd_20ns.edr -stepout 2000 I get the following output: ************************************** ... ... 5000000 steps, 10000.0 ps (continuing from step 49430, 98.9 ps). 5000000 steps, 10000.0 ps (continuing from step 49430, 98.9 ps). step 49430, will finish Wed Sep 12 16:09:33 2012 step 50000, will finish Thu May 24 11:23:04 2012 Step 47546: resetting all time and cycle counters =>> PBS: job killed: walltime 604823 exceeded limit 604800 Terminated ****************************************** Apparently, the job runs for one week on a computer cluster (that is the maximum time allowed), but it does not progress very much beyond step 49430.

I would be grateful for any help.
