#1335: SimFactory should abort if there are no checkpoint files when submitting an existing configuration

 Reporter: Ian Hinder

  Version: 
     Type: enhancement
 Priority: minor
Component: SimFactory

status: wontfix (was new)

When submitting a simulation which already contains at least one restart, simfactory should abort if there are no checkpoint files available.  This likely means that something went wrong.  Starting the simulation again is always the wrong thing to do in this case, as it will waste CPU time and might go unnoticed.

Comment (by Roland Haas):

As Ian stated, there can realistically be no checkpoint files even when one wants to "continue" a simulation.
