Change the frequency that initial files are output

[hannay]

From user:
I used restart files (at 2023-01-01) from an existing CESM run
and ran the model to 2023-01-04. Worked just fine. If I continue
the run from 2023-01-04 (i.e.,set CONTINUE_RUN=TRUE),
again it is fine. However, if I use the restart files saved on
2023-01-04 and start another hybrid run, the run didn't succeed
because it couldn't find an initial file called
"b40.rcp6_0.1deg.002.hybrid_cont.cam2.i.2023-01-04-00000.nc"
(notice the .i. in the file name). True, this file isn't saved
in my restart files. Do I need to turn on some flags
in the configure or run environmental variables in order to have
this one saved? If so what variables are they?

You can change the frequency that initial files will be output with the CAM namelist variable: inithist

By default:
inithist = 'YEARLY'

Valid values for inithist are:
'NONE', '6-HOURLY', 'DAILY', 'MONTHLY','YEARLY', 'CAMIOP', 'ENDOFRUN'.
