Dear Abhirup<br>
AFAIK, you can restart a pw.x calculation only if the previous run has  <br>
a clean exit. If you need more time than that allowed by queues, then  <br>
you should use the max_seconds option (with a max_seconds slightly  <br>
lower than the expected queue walltime, because the code must have the  <br>
time to finish what it is doing and to save all files for restart) to  <br>
induce a clean exit of the code. Maybe this has been changed in the  <br>
latest 6.6 version, but even in this case I do not know whether a  <br>
"broken" BOMD calculation can be restarted or not.<br>
