Hi Mark !!!
Thanks for answering.
My query is how do I restart my mdrun because the command
nohup mpirun -np 16 -machinefile mac mdrun -s md5-10.tpr -cpi state.cpt -append & will not start from where the trajectory was stopped (i.e; time 9169.500). As this command will continue the simulation from where the cpt file was written.


Right, it will start from whenever the checkpoint was written. You should also have a state_prev.cpt that is a backup in case this type of thing happens; it may help. Regardless, with a 36-GB .trr file, the -append option will not work. Leave it out and use trjcat later.

Any suggestions??

        Hello gmxusers !!!
        I want to continue my simulation, from where the point where it
        stopped.
        The gmxcheck on .trr and cpt files are as:

        $gmxcheck -f state.cpt

        Checking file state.cpt

        # Atoms  186864
        Last frame         -1 time 9362.500


        Item        #frames Timestep (ps)
        Step             1
        Time             1
        Lambda           1
        Coords           1
        Velocities       1
        Forces           0
        Box              1

        $gmxcheck -f 5-10.trr

        Checking file 5-10.trr
        trn version: GMX_trn_file (single precision)
        Reading frame       0 time 5169.500
        # Atoms  186864
        Reading frame    8000 time 9169.500


        Item        #frames Timestep (ps)
        Step          8395    0.5
        Time          8395    0.5
        Lambda        8395    0.5
        Coords        8395    0.5
        Velocities    8395    0.5
        Forces           0
        Box           8395    0.5


        There is a mismatch of time in both the outputs.

        The date of modification of both the files as shown are:

        Feb 15 19:55 state.cpt

        $date -r 5-10.trr
        Mon Feb 15 19:59:56 IST 2010

        The cpt file shows time greater than the trr file. But the time of
        modification of cpt file is less than trr file.


    If the simulation stopped catastrophically, then the timestamp could
    easily differ, especially if the .cpt is opened, written to and
    closed periodically, and the .trr is open continuously.


        Cannot understand the,
        how to restart the mdrun. And the size of the trr file is 36GB.
        Can I
        use the append flag in mdrun for gmx 4.0.5.
