Dear All,

I am running a simulation in background (using foamJob). It started well and after some hours, I had a problem: the simulation seems to run properly, but nothing is written.

In fact, if I give the `top' command, I get this:
Code:
  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND

Also, trying to give the `ps -ef | grep rduser' command, I get the following output:
Code:
rduser@slnxepmi05:/OPENFOAM/cases/moving_door_def_flow/test/opening/we3Ter$ ps -ef | grep rduser

rduser   13410 13409  0 08:59 pts/0    00:00:00 -bash
rduser   13772 13410  0 10:13 pts/0    00:00:00 ps -ef
rduser   13773 13410  0 10:13 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto rduser
rduser@slnxepmi05:/OPENFOAM/cases/moving_door_def_flow/test/opening/we3Ter$
The problem is that nothing is written after a certain time step and this happens for 2 different simulation (the 2 that are running as you can see in the commands above).

Any idea? What could I do?

Thanks a lot,

Samuele

how are your output setting in system/controlDict defined?
