Hi,

If you are wanting to limit the number of years spent during converting the composition, then you might set the &control param max_years_for_timestep.

After the conversion is complete, you'll probably want to change or remove the max timestep limit.  The easiest way is to stop the run with CTRL-C, edit the inlist, and restart with ./re ...
If you want to do it "hands off", then you can of course make use of your run_star_extras routines.

Hope that helps,
Bill
