##Continuing stopped job

Inevitably during your work with Relion on a cluster, your job will be killed or it may abort. Fortunately, it is very easy to restart Relion jobs, whether it is 2D/3D classification or 3D refinement. By providing information about the previous iteration, Relion is able to pick up where it has left off.

Relion's GUI will help you generate this command.

First, open the Relion GUI:

$ relion &

Then, on this Main menu, select 'Continue old run' at the top of the window:

Now, navigate to the menu for the analysis that you were performing that you would like to continue. In this example, it is '3D classification'.

You will only need to provide two inputs:

  • A new name for the output rootname. By default, Relion will name a continued run as 'ctX', where X is the iteration that was the iteration where the job was continued from.
  • You will need to input the 'optimiser' file from the previous iteration. This has all of the relevant refinement information needed to continue your job.

After this, you could change subsequent parameters in the menu, as laid out in other wiki pages. Otherwise defaults will be used.
