The input file is

Minimization of the entire molecular system
 &cntrl
  imin=1, maxcyc=250,
  ntpr=5,
 &end

I am running sander as

$ sander -O -i inputfile -p prmtop -c inpcrd -o outputfile -r restrtfile

Yes sander is running when when I top. By the way do I have to make ntb=0 in
the input file?
