Hi Guys,

I tried to run the resource-reduced example (static_tov_small.par) in 
the simplified guide, but the simulation only uses one CPU core.  I 
tried a couple of things to fix this:

$ ./simfactory/bin/sim submit static_tov 
--parfile=par/static_tov_small.par --procs=2 --walltime=8:0:0
Assigned restart id: 3
Error: Too many nodes specified: nodes=2 (maxnodes is 1)
Aborting Simfactory.

$ ./simfactory/bin/sim submit static_tov 
--parfile=par/static_tov_small.par --ppn=2 --procs=2 --walltime=8:0:0
Assigned restart id: 4
Error: Illegal number of requested cores per node specified: specified 
ppn=2 (min-ppn is 1, max-ppn is 1)
Aborting Simfactory.

I can't see where these max & min limits are set, I checked in 
simfactory/etc, can anyone enlighten me?

Cheers,

Ian.
