Automatically restart from checkpoint

Hi all,

I am running a long simulation, but we have a batch queues limit of 2 days. I’m restarting the run manually from checkpoint, but i was wondering if there is an easier way to restart automatically every time the run stops.

Many thanks,
Filippo

I would be very careful automating restarts. Talk to your sysadmins about that.

I guess your queuing system would support multiple jobs with dependencies on the previous job (or -d singleton if you’re using a slurm system). Then you can just put a few of them in the queue.
