<p>At the end of (every) *.out file simfactory currently outputs:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span>Mon Jan 20 09:34:59 CST 2020
Simfactory Done at date: 0
</pre></div>
<p>where the first is the date as produced by the <code>date</code> command and the <code>0</code> in the second line is <code>date</code>'s exit code. This is due to this Python code</p>
<div class="codehilite language-python"><pre><span></span><span class="n">display</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">"Simfactory Done at date: </span><span class="si">%s</span><span class="s2">"</span> <span class="o">%</span> <span class="n">simenv</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">system</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">"date"</span><span class="p">))</span> <span class="c1"># This is wrong because system doesn't return the command output</span>
