C) Launch sequential runs for generation of large number of events:

For various reason, we forbids to generate more than 100k events
90
by generation. In order to generate more events, you then need to
91
run 'generate_events' multiple times. In order to simplify that
92
task we have created a special command 'multi_run' which is
93
doing exactly that, and combine the lhe sample in a single file
95
This command can be launch via the madevent user interface:
96
`./bin/madevent`. Then you can launch it with the following command:

For various reason, we recommend not to generate more than 100k events
90
pre run. In order to simplify generating large numbers of events,
91
we have created a special command 'multi_run', which is equivalent to
92
running generate_events multiple times (ensuring that the random seed is
93
different for each run), and also automatically combines the resulting
94
lhe files into a single file.
95
This command can be launched via the madevent user interface
96
./bin/madevent using the following command:

multi_run NBRUN [RUN_NAME] [options]

For more information about this command (valid options), you can type

Note that you can launch this single command whithout entering the interactive mode:

E) How to prevent the html opening:
124
-----------------------------------
126
Edit the file ./Cards/me5_configuration.txt and put
127
the option automatic_html_opening on `False`.
128
You can edit the MG5 configuration cards, in order to
129
have this value on False by default for all subsequent
120
which allow to specify the tag name in case of multiple runs with
121
the same program. Note that by default, a unique run tag is generated
122
for each time you run.

E) How to prevent automatic opening of the crossx.html page:
125
------------------------------------------------------------
127
Edit the file ./Cards/me5_configuration.txt and set
128
the option automatic_html_opening to `False`.

You can also edit the MG5 configuration card

in order to have this value on False by default for all subsequently
