[Mesa-users] How to stop calculating the primary evolution details?

[Rob Farmer]

Please keep replies on the mailing list.

That should be sufficient as long as the run terminates normally. How are
you stopping your run? Are you using an option in
http://mesa.sourceforge.net/controls_defaults.html#when_to_stop? or
modifying your run_star_extras/run_binary_extras to stop the run? or ctrl-c
the run? or does the model crash?

The terminal output at the end of the run should include a line with your
chosen save_model_filename to show that it has saved a file. Does the
output state it has?
