yes, but it doesn't always work. You can either stop
after a predefined time (see input variable "max_seconds")
or when you deem it appropriate (the best way is to
create a file "prefix".EXIT in the temporary directory
where the other "prefix".* files are). How the code
will restart depends on how much information is stored
to file.
