Hi Gromacs Friends,

I run a Production run with saving the  co-ordinates and velocity
after every 500 steps for 20ns..
Now I want to extend the run but with saving the  co-ordinates and velocity
after every 1000 steps for next 30ns (total 50ns)

To perform these task I am using following command
1. grompp -f <New mdp file just change in  saving output>  -t <.cpt>  -c <.gro
file(gro file from position restrained run )>  -o new.tpr


2. tpbconv -s new.tpr -0 extend.tpr  -extend 30000

3. mdrun -v -deffnm extend  -cpi <.cpt> -append

Is these approach is correct??


No. The new.tpr file contains instructions to run from 20 -> 30 ns. There is no need to then invoke tpbconv. You would also need a new invocation of mdrun, since the output frequencies won't match. You don't want to append those files with mdrun (nor will the checkpoint file likely let you).

Second query;

To rerun the crash run, users give .cpt file as input to -mdrun,
My query is, There are two cpt file a) pre.cpt  b) .cpt ,
So which one has to given as input???


Use gmxcheck to understand the contents of each. The timestamp will also tell you a difference, as will reading mdrun -h for an explanation of what the -cpt option is doing.
