The information on the extending simulations page does not seem to agree
with what you just said above. It says :
If you wish/need to change .mdp file options, then either

grompp -f new.mdp -c old.tpr -o new.tpr -t old.cpt
mdrun -s new.tpr
or

grompp -f new.mdp -c old.tpr -o new.tpr
mdrun -s new.tpr -cpi old.cpt
should work.

I am simply changing the mdp file options so the difference in output
frequency shouldn't actually cause mdrun to abort.


That section of the wiki was written years ago, when the default behavior of mdrun was to not append files unless specifically requested. Now that mdrun does append by default (as of version 4.5), you probably have to add -noappend. If that works, then I'm happy to update the wiki, but since what you're trying to do is not common, there was no compelling need to update the wiki to reflect the difference.
