[Wien] How to check band structure calculation progress

Dear Zubaer,

One very simple solution is first to check when the last file has been 
modified (ls -altr). Then check the case.output1 file which contains the 
data needed for spaghetti calculation.
One way is to edit the file and another could be to do "grep K= 
*.output1". It will show you the number of K points for which the 
calculation has been done. Compare to your case.klist_band file in order 
to estimate the time needed to finish the calculation.

Regards

Xavier
