[Octopus-users] Writing of restart info

I believe the variable OutputEvery controls that.
http://www.tddft.org/programs/octopus/doc/3.2.0/html/vars.php?section=Output&name=OutputEvery

You can't specify how many minutes/hours go by before Octopus writes the
restart files, but you can at least specify how many iterations. You
just have to guess and check how many iterations you get in how much
time.

Subject: [Octopus-users] Writing of restart info

Dear Octopus users,

I'm running some unocc calculations on a cluster for which there is a
limited time for jobs.
I would like to be able to restart the jobs if they run over the time
limit,
but there sometimes is no restart information written to unocc_restart.

Is there a variable which controls the writing of the restart
information?
(Apologies if there is one in the variable list, as I have looked
through
and really can't find one)
 Or could someone suggest where to look in the code to force the restart
information to be written at regular intervals.

Thanks in advance,
Conn
