hi,

if there is no job on the cluster or on the local machine you can restore the relion project file from the last successful run.

so close the relion gui.

go to  the last successful job e.g. Class2d/job034

see the changes:

diff default_pipeline.star ../../

copy the file default_pipeline.star to your relion project root and start the gui there.

cheers,

wolfgang

Subject: [ccpem] How to kill a Zombie RELION job

I launched a Class2D job from the RELION GUI, with ‘experimental’ MPI settings, which then produced an MPI error. The job then hangs and fails to produce any further output, nor does it finish. Selecting the job from the ‘Running Jobs’ list and trying to mark it as finished, produced a message telling me I can’t mark it as finished as it hasn’t started - do I want to delete it instead. However selecting delete just hangs the GUI. No actual Class2D job is running on the computer, and deleting the folder for the zombie job has no effect. I’m guessing that it lives on in the default_pipeline file and /or some of the hidden files, but I don’t understand the layout of these well enough to fiddle with them.
