yes u can use recover option to restart and it gives the same result, as yr continuous job.
recover generally restart the calculation from the last scf step, but sometime it shows some error. So it is always better to start the calculation from the beginning of scf steps. To do this just type rm OUT/_ph* where OUT is your directory, where your output data's are stored. (outdir = './OUT',) Remember just remove the files not the whole directory On Fri, Jul 23, 2010 at 12:15 PM, sonu kumar <1009ukumar at gmail.com> wrote: > Dear all Quantum Espresso Users, > > Is restart of phonon calculations due to power failure/ system shutdown > etc. > is reliable? > > It happened with me after running a program for two days.
