respected sir,
                     For minimizing my structure we are using these
minimization parameters

 in vacuo minimization
 &cntrl
  imin = 1,
  maxcyc = 1000,
  ncyc = 200,
  ntb = 0,
  igb = 0,
  cut = 12
 /
 sometimes job get completed.sometime it get signaled.i am running it
parallel.why is it happened.I appreciate that.If you please help me out.
