Is it possible to break down the whole process into a series of intermediate steps ? #176

I am assembling a chromosome out of a plant genome (Illumina data). But the server I use only allows me to run at most one-week per request. Is there any kind of "pause and resume" ability from MaSuRCA? So I can run my assembly job through several weeks.

I found that MaSuRCA allows restarting the failure work. If I kill it and restart, does it do the equivalent job as the "pause and resume" in terms of both time cost and error prevention?

Thanks.

There is no pause option. Starting with 3.4.1 version, you can kill it and restart and you will not lose progress.

It is not always true, for instance, if you kill the pipeline after the 'Estimating genome size' step started, next time the pipeline will start from the beginning.
