I want to use Prime95 to perform a CPU stress test on the server, which does not have a graphical interface. I encountered two problems while using it.

Problem 1: I start the test using the command ./mprime -m. During the first launch, there are various configurable options available for me to configure (including the scale of the test). However, when I use Ctrl+C to stop a test and then try to launch it again using ./mprime -m, there are no configurable options available anymore, and instead, it directly enters a main menu. How could I properly stop/restart mprime tests.

$ sudo ./mprime -m

Problem 2: I want to control mprime not to use AVX-512 instructions. According to the documentation, I should set options in the local.txt file, but I cannot find the local.txt file.
