RE: restart NONMEM
Hi Bob,
Have you tried to use the option -rerun in PsN?
Here's the details from their manual:
-rerun='integer'
Default 1. PsN can redo or resume a run using information in PsN run
directory(see documentation for -directory). It is called a rerun. During a
rerun PsN will consider to redo parts of the run. With the -rerun option you
can control which parts will be redone. With rerun set to 1 PsN will rerun any
model with a missing list file. Notice that every "retry" (see the
documentation for -retries and -min_retries) will be considered for a rerun.
This means you can change the value of the -retries and -min_retries
options if you like more or less retries. Setting -rerun to 0 means that PsN
will not check for missing or incomplete "retry" list files. This is useful if
you have one or more run model-files and you wish to have a PsN raw_results
file. You do a run with them as arguments and specify -rerun=0, PsN will not do
any NONMEM run, but produce useful output summary. You can also set -rerun to
2, and PsN will ignore any existing list files and rerun everything, creating
raw_results from the new listfiles.
Hope it helps.
