[Wien] error in x spaghetti for parallel computing

When you do a parallel calculation you have to add    -p   to spaghetti

x spaghetti -p

-------------------------

I guess the problem for lapw2 occurred when you resubmitted another 
batch job (without x lapw1 -p -band).

This is clear, because only the lapw1 step creates suitable .machine* 
and .processes files, which are needed in lapw2 and they have to be 
compatible with the node-list of the current batch job.

Simply insert into your job script:

x lapw1 -p -d

before the    x lapw2 step.
