I got static_tov  [ACTIVE (FINISHED), restart 0000, job id -1]. Does this signifies the completion of the simulation?

A job id of -1 usually indicates that the job was not actually submitted. Thus, it never even started to run.

One of our internal routines noticed the problem, and thus returned -1 as job id. However, there is unfortunately not yet a higher level routine that would translate this into a sensible error message.

Most likely, there was an error during job submission. The screen output you received may contain a hint as to the cause, or one of the log files that was generated.
