> I have a large case with spin-orbit coupling. It will take several days to run a single lapw1 step in SCF calculation. After one lapw1 step finishes, I met a limited memory problem (i.e. the assigned memory is less than the one during the case running ) when lapwso is running. So the program stoped due to the memory problem. My question is how can I restart the SCF right where it stoped after I increase the memory? Is this possible?

run_lapw -so -s lapwso

You can start at any "label" in run_lapw.
Have a look into this script. A "label" is
