Dear Alcides,
perhaps you can use the %OldChk keyword = (http://www.gau= ssian.com/g_tech/g_ur/k_link0.htm)? It is difficult, but probably not i= mpossible, to safely copy the checkpoint file using only shell commands whi= le gaussian is running.

Hello all!

I'm running a G= 09 job using PBS. While running, G09 is creating a input.chk file. The inpu= t file has a link0 and a link1 (it's a two-step job). I don't wish = to overwrite the input.chk file of the first step, so I wish to copy it as = input-freq.chk. I tried to do this via:

g09 input.gjf 2>&= ;1 input.log | cp input.chk input-freq.chk

But, as= it ran, it didn't start to copy the chk file, so it will only do so wh= en the calculation finishes abnormally due to the missing .chk file.
Any ideas on how to copy the .chk file to another file as the calculation = progresses?

Best,

Alcides Sim=C3=A3o
