Dear Bo,
in general, you can set the rate at which restart files are written with
the "restartfreq" keyword. In your case, are you saying you had no
restart files after 53200 timesteps? Did you set "restartname"? Please
see http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/2.6b1/ug/node14.html
for more on how to set up restart files.
Also, did your namd run crash or hang? Is there still a namd process
left over after this happened?
