Note: When both parameters -c <file>
and -i <file>
are used, only the chain is read while -i <file>
is ignored.
Running quietly¶
If you pass quiet=true
(C) or quiet=True
(Python)
when creating the state, or use the --quiet
command
line option, spirit will write out some initial
information, but after that only errors, if any occur.
Stopping a running process by interrupting¶
If you are running spirit within a terminal and press
ctrl+c
once, currently running simulations will be
stopped. If you press it again within 2 seconds, spirit
will shut down without further output.
Stopping a running process without interrupting¶
Place a file called STOP
into the working directory,
i.e. where the spirit state was created. Spirit will
finish any currently running iteration, write out any
output as if it was the final iteration, and shut down.
