Hi Erik,

It seems to work. More files appear in the directory. And now I can find me in
qstat -u ettest24

qb2:

Req'd  Req'd   Elap
Job ID               Username Queue    Jobname    SessID NDS   TSK
Memory Time  S Time
-------------------- -------- -------- ---------- ------ ----- ---

595490.qb2           ettest24 checkpt  static_tov   2531     4   1
--  08:00 R 00:10


The only thing is that now
$ ./simfactory/bin/sim list-simulations
returns

Error: unknown command list-simulation
Aborting Simfactory.

I will wait it finishes and check if the .asc files appear.
Thanks,
Jose
