It helps to provide the errors your script produces, but I'm going to
assume these lines are your problem:
outputName min_$i
restartfreq $minCoorSteps
You can't change outputName or restartFreq during a run (after the first
"run" or "minimize" command triggers startup). If you just want to save
the system state to files you should use the output command:
output min_$i
