Script Help

Hi people.

I am trying to run a slow cooling simulate annealing, in which I rapidly rise te temperature to 1000K or 2000K and slowly down to 300K in steps of -25K.

I am using the script below that I found in namd-list but without sucess. The temperature only rises slowly, but dont turns to fall.

Could someone tells me what I am doing wrong?

I will be gratefull for any help.
