Madevent launch/restart

Hi,

Never face such problem before.
Could you try to run the code in debug mode?
./bin/madevent —debug

Thanks,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

thanks for your quick response. I used the --debug option and it still does not move.

Could it be that it takes a long time to load depending on the number of processes? E.g. the size of SubProcesses folder is 2 GB.

Thanks,
Miha

Do you get the same error message when hitting ctrl-c?
In principle you should have a more useful one.
(and/or a file ME5_debug with useful information)
Cheers,

Olivier

Yes in fact, MadEvent just took a long time (~25 min) to load, presumably due to the number of processes. All works fine.

Thanks for your help,
Miha
