[Users] simulationfactory issue?

[Richard O'Shaughnessy]

Hi Erik,

Thanks -- I didn't realize I accidentally (and consistently!) was adding static_tov to the build command.

How does the build system work?  It's obvious now that I can (for example) build wavetoy, static_tov, and ks-mclachlan at once, and run instances of each independently.   But what about maintaining the source trees -- do I need to rebuild the name?  Can I check if there are updates to a particular configuration's source tree? Is there any consistency enforced between configurations used on a local host and remote build (i.e., if I want to be sure I use the same code tag on each of many target clusters)?  

-Richard
PS: On a related note, are there submission scripts for condor's parallel universe?
