I see. This case requires some cares. See section 4.6, "Restarting",
and in particular 4.6.1, "Signal trapping (experimental!)", of the
user guide (the one that comes with the distribution in PW/Doc/, not
the on-line one that should have been updated but wasn't). What to do
exactly depends upon your specific queuing system. In any case, you 
should instruct your batch queue to leave enough time to the code
before killing it, so that it can save to file the data needed for
restarting. Note that the code does not stop exactly at T=T_max: it 
has to hit one of the checks on elapsed time. This is true also if 
you set "max_seconds" (a simple alternative to signal trapping)
