Comment (by knarf):

 Fine with me too. Related: even if Cactus exits with non-zero, this might
 not be handed correctly down to the runscript. We should think about
 letting Cactus indicate a successful exit by writing a special file. Any
 crash or other unsuccessful exit would not generate this file, and it
 would be easy to check for the existence of that file - easier than for an
 exit code, routed through mpirun and possibly other helper scripts on
 various machines.
