fine marine sequential mode script in linux slurm cluster

Please follow the Fine/Marine 12.1 user manual Chapter number 30, "Task Manager", you can follow section 30.4.3 which gives you the detailed instructions on how to launch the simulation in sequential operation.

The answer to the second query is as follows:

The solver reads a file "stop. now" at each non-linear iteration. It can be edited manually to control the computation end. This file is automatically created by the solver when the computation is launched and it only contains a number (written in the second column of the first line only) or a letter (written in the first column of the first line only), with the different possibilities described below:

• "0" (default value): this number means that the solver continues until the maximum number of iterations/time steps written in the ".sim" file is reached.
• "n" (positive number): this corresponds to the number of iterations or time steps that the solver should still perform before the end of the computation (for instance: "2" means that the solver will perform 2 extra iterations or time steps before saving and stopping).
• "-n" (negative number): a negative number imposes a new absolute number of time steps, i.e. -400 will stop the computation after 400-time steps total. -1 corresponds to the Suspend button in the interface: the solver will save the results and stop after the next time step or iteration.
• "q": this letter corresponds to the Kill button in the interface: the solver stops immediately without saving.

On LINUX, users can type echo q > stop. now in the shell to stop a computation.

• "s": the solver will save the computation as soon as possible and keep on running.
