That depends on what kind of job it is.  Obviously, the current job
you're
running will be lost if it reboots, but I assume you're looking for
a way to have restartable jobs in future X-PLOR runs.

I have code (from Steve Roderick) for a slowcool which will write out
a temporary file at 500 degree steps -- if it stops, I just use the
most recent temp file starting at whatever the temperature was when
the machine crashed.  This idea can be adapted to most long X-PLOR jobs,
I think.

If you want the code, or help on how to adapt
it to your particular job, write me.
