Time-limit

Dear Developer,

Is there any keyboard to terminate the calculation smoothly instead of sudden killing by queuing system.
For example, in some codes (e.g pwscf) there are two ways,
1. one put the time limit in the input "max_seconds=xxxxxxx"
2. create a file with the name of ".EXIT" in the working directory.

My problem is that when my "freq numerical" calculation stops (kills) by queuing system, I can't restart it properly,
and, restart works for 5 steps, and crashes.
I have all the files:
HS.b HS.c HS.fdrst HS.movecs HS.p HS.db HS.movecs.hess HS.zmat

but no "_dipole" file was created, during the calculation.

Initial INPUT file is the following and for restart I used restart key;;;

echo
start HS
title "Benzene"
charge 0

GEOMETRY units angstroms print xyz center autosym
SYMMETRY group D6h
LOAD format xyz select init.xyz
end

basis
* library 3-21G
end

dft
XC b3lyp
MULT 1
DIRECT
ITERATIONS 500
MULLIKEN
PRINT "mulliken ao"
end

DRIVER
MAXITER 200
XYZ optimized_trajectroy.xyz
END

TASK dft freq numerical


Thanks in advance, for any help and idea.

Best Regards;
Shahab
