Restarting pestpp-glm from pyemu

[Paszka1]

Is it possible to restart an accidentally interupted parallel pestpp-glm inversion from pyemu, or not? I.e., I would like to avoid restarting from the command line as I'm not sure how to reuse the existing workers.

Hey @Paszka1 - I'm afraid if you have to restart an interrupted run, you have to restart the workers from scratch.

I will experiment a bit with adding the option to include the restart /r string to the command call in start_workers() though

Provided that I have to restart it from the command line, is it going to be the same procedure as for pest_hp for example? I.e., delete the existing workers, create a series of new ones, start them one-by-one and then start the manager with the /r switch? I am more or less familiar with starting a parallel run with pest_hp - not restarting though - , but I'm confused about panther's role here with pestpp.

Yep - that's basically right. Although if I'm able to update the start_workers() program, you might be able to just restart with that function. Looking at it now...

ok @Paszka1 - there's a pull request in on the develop branch that should allow restarting using start_workers. It will require specifying restart=True and reuse_master=True. You can see the status of the pull request on the link above and give it a try.
