[FLASH-USERS] Occasional part file with forced plot file

[Joshua Wall]

Dear users,

    When I use FLASH I stop and start the Driver routine periodically
during a run. I've noticed when doing runs that occasionally when FLASH
makes a forced_plot file (because we've reached max_sim_time) it also makes
a particle file. Since I have many more regular plot files, this throws off
the syncing between my plot and particle files. It usually only does this
~1 time in a 100 time steps. I've been outputting using:

 53 plotFileIntervalStep           = 0
 54 plotFileIntervalTime           = 3.1536e9
 55 particleFileIntervalStep       = 0
 56 particleFileIntervalTime       = 3.1536e9

in my par file. I can't seem to track down what is causing this behavior,
but I'd honestly rather just do without forced plot files altogether than
to have my files not synced. I've been browsing IO_output to try and either
disable forced plot files or make sure it doesn’t make a particle file when
it writes one, but can't quite track the the code. Any ideas on how I can
resolve this (possibly Klaus as I see your initials in IO_output...) ?

Cordially,
