<p>When sim submit -remote ... fails to queue a job because the allocation has been overdrawn, simfactory does not print any error message to screen (it is only hidden in the log file).</p>
<p>Could it be made to print an error message to screen?</p>

<p>Comment (by Roland Haas):</p>
<p>This no longer happens. Simfactory (even <code>--remote</code>) now ends its output with "Warning: submit either failed or could not determine job id, output:" followed by the raw output from the submit command. Eg for a quick test trying to remote-submit to a non-existing allocation on Blue Waters I get:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Executing submit command: cd /scratch/sciteam/rhaas/simulations/foo/output-0000 && qsub /scratch/sciteam/rhaas/simulations/foo/output-0000/SIMFACTORY/SubmitScript</p>
<p>Warning: submit either failed or could not determine job id, output:</p>
<p>Warning:</p>
<p>WARNING: A scan of your job script did not find an invocation of 'aprun'/'ccmrun'.</p>
<p>This may be due to using another command to invoke 'aprun'/'ccmrun', or the use of a shell variable.</p>
<p>Job will be submitted as usual, but please ensure your job script eventually
invokes 'aprun'/'ccmrun' command to execute tasks on allocated compute nodes.
Please contact help+bw@ncsa.illinois.edu if you need any assistance.</p>
<p>ERROR: No allocation for project account (bar).
Please specify a project acount with valid allocation.
e.g. 'qsub -A <project_account> job.script.sh'
