[Wien] optimize_abc continuation run

[Peter Blaha]

What you need is always to finish a complete "step" (19 scf cycles, 
which can be done highly parallel).

optimize_abc  -n 1  .....

would do this. This command can be repeated until you find convergence.
(If it crashes after more than 1 step, you can still continue, but all 
calculations after a full step will be lost.
If you "see" that a step has finished (parabol_fit done) but it is clear 
that another one will not within the time limit, you can kill the whole 
job and submit another one.

Peter Blaha
