[Wrf-users] trouble with restart runs.

[Geeta Geeta]

Hi all. 
My problem is with the restart runs. 
I am running the model with 3 nested domains. Initially I have following options in my namelist file. 
&time_control
 run_minutes            = 4680 ,
 start_year             = 2006, 2006, 2006,
 start_month            = 07, 07, 07,
 start_day              = 30, 30, 30,
 start_hour             = 00, 00, 00,
 end_year               = 2006, 2006, 2006,
 end_month              = 08, 08, 08,
 end_day                = 02, 02, 02,
 end_hour               = 06, 06, 06,
 interval_seconds       = 21600,
 input_from_file        = .true.,.true.,.true.,
 history_interval       = 180, 60, 60,
 frames_per_outfile     = 1000, 1000, 1000,
 restart                = .false.,
 restart_interval       = 720,
 io_form_history        = 2
 io_form_restart        = 2
 io_form_input          = 2
 io_form_boundary       = 2
 debug_level            =1
/
                                                                                                                             
model runs fine, and the restart files are created after 12 hours. But this file is not created for the d01 so I am getting this error. 
Following is the listing.
