[Pw_forum] What is wrong in input file: control?

To not let this sit in the archive uncommented:

Sorry, Amitha, but I think you are wrong in two ways.
- leaving out the restart_mode parameter is completely valid. It is not
needed in the input file as it defaults to "from_scratch" if left out.
- "vc-relax" and "relax" are values for the calculation parameter, which
Mahesh already set to "scf". restart_mode takes values of "from_scratch"
or "restart".

Please make sure the information you post to this forum is accurate. Use
the plentiful QE resources available (like
http://www.quantum-espresso.org/wp-content/uploads/Doc/INPUT_PW.html).
Otherwise your good intentions are even more hurtful than posting those
kinds of questions in the first place, as Emine already pointed out in
another email.

Best,
Florian
