#2198: simfactory's user level run command does not record jobid in a segment's
properties.ini file
---------------------------------+------------------------
 Reporter:  Roland Haas          |       Type:  defect
   Status:  new                  |   Priority:  minor
Milestone:                       |  Component:  SimFactory
  Version:  development version  |   Keywords:
---------------------------------+------------------------
 The (user level) run command does not record a jobid in a segment's
 properties.ini file which means one cannot eg restart from a checkpoint
 since simfactory complains about an unset jobid:

 {code}
 simfactory/bin/sim create-run test1 --parfile par/tov_ETK_2018_lisbon.par
 --procs 1 --walltime 0:5:0
 grep jobid ~/simulations/test1/output-0000/SIMFACTORY/properties.ini
 {code}
 shows the issue (but not producing any output). And the error obtained
 when trying to restart is along the lines of

 > Simulation name: binarybh9
 > Error: job id is negative
 > Aborting Simfactory

 This was reported by  Qingwen Wang in
 http://lists.einsteintoolkit.org/pipermail/users/2018-September/006524.html

 A workaround is to not use run as a user but always submit or to use the
 cleanup command after which simfactory is fine with there not being a job
 id.
