Problem with "restart"

[kinguEnt]

Hello WRF Users,

when I set the "restart = .false." , it works only the first time step (i.e, wrfout_d01_2012-05-25_00:00:00, wrfout_d02_2012-05-25_00:00:00, wrfout_d03_2012-05-25_00:00:00 and wrfout_d04_2012-05-25_00:00:00) and then after a certain duration, it stopped with ''bad termination error).
On the other hand, when I edit the "restart as true", the error message appeared from the beginning without any output.

===================================================================================
= BAD TERMINATION OF ONE OF YOUR APPLICATION PROCESSES

= EXIT CODE: 9
= CLEANING UP REMAINING PROCESSES

===================================================================================
YOUR APPLICATION TERMINATED WITH THE EXIT STRING: Killed (signal 9)
This typically refers to a problem with your application.

Does any one know the possible reason? I seriously seek your suggestions.

Just as I stated in this post, you are likely not using enough processors.

Thanks for your response, kwerner.

So, the processors also affect the restart settings?

Whether running wrf.exe as a regular simulation, or as a restart, you will need to use enough processors. The size of the domain is the determining factor, as is shown in Choosing an Appropriate Number of Processors.
