[Users] problem with first example simulation with ETK

Wed Jan 11 00:57:51 CST 2012

Hi Erik,

I checked the log.txt file. The assigned allocation was loni_cactus06.
I changed it to loni_cactus01 but I don't really know what options I
have. How can I check to which I have access?

The results are so far the same. Run seems not to start.

Thanks,
Jose
