[Swift-devel] swift resume request/suggestion

[Glen Hocky]

I just tried (I think successfully) to resume a workflow that failed on
bgp.

Here is what I had to type to resume my workflow

> swift -resume glassContinueCavities-20100803-0045-nc4gyma0.0.rlog
> -sites.file sites_pedersenipl.xml -tc.file tc_pedersenipl
> ./glassContinueCavities.swift -temp=0.8 -steps=15000 -prevsteps=5000
> -totsteps=20000 -esteps=1000000000 -ceqsteps=10000 -natoms=4915 -volume=4096
> -rlist=rlist -fraca=0.8 -nmodels=10 -nsub=25 -energyfunction=pedersenipl


Is it possible to make this process simpler by saving all of these command
line arguments in the *.rlog file?

my suggestion would be that all that is necessary to restart a swift
workflow would be
    swift -resume rlogfile

and specification of any swift arguments such as -tc.file would override
those stored in the restart file
