Restarting a run
It is possible to restart a run that has terminated abrutly, or that
has terminated succesfully, but needs to be further extended. This is
done by rerunning the job while providing the path of the lastly saved
binary state file (see Output Files) as the parameter to
the option --restart (see Command-line).
When restarting a run, the input file can be altered so as to override the original input parameters stored in the state file. This can be used, for example, to allow for more grid-shifting iterations to be executed, after the maximum number has already been reached. The parameters of which the values in the input file override those in the state file are indicated as mergeable in their corresponding descriptions in the section Input File. For a quick reference, they are also listed below:
