Dear Molpro-Users,

 Is there a way to write a molpro input deck so that  a job will restart from 
the last geometry point in an optimization if the job is restarted, without 
creating a whole new input deck with a new geometry?  Can MolPro be told to 
override the GEOMETRY specification if geometry information exists on a WFN 
file?  Alternatively, can a put command be issued within an 'optg' job such 
that the geometry info is put into a file that can be then read in using a 
GEOMETRY=file command contained within an if construct that determines if newer 
geometries exist?  If so, what variable should be used to trigger the 'if' 
condition?  Would ITERATIONS be the most appropriate?

For context on this question, I am running MolPro jobs on a shared cluster, and 
have been advised by the cluster admin. team that restricting the walltime of 
the batch-submitted jobs will save me (and them) time and effort.  Thus, I am 
looking to automate the restarting of molpro geometry optimizations via a 
self-resubmitting shell script, such that I do not have to manually resubmit 
the jobs to the queue.  

Cheers,

Seth Olsen
