Hi Ian

I'am running on VirtualBox set whit 2 Processors and 8GB RAM

When i try with this submit command

create-submit mybbh --parfile par/BBHLowRes.par --num-threads=1 --procs=2

I get following message in .err file

WARNING level 0 from host kpc-VirtualBox process 0
  while executing schedule bin (none), routine (no thorn)::(no routine)
  in thorn Carpet, file
/home/kuangtly/programming/ET/forfun/Cactus/arrangements/Carpet/Carpet/src/SetupGH.cc:153:
  -> The environment variable CACTUS_NUM_PROCS is set to 2, but there are 1
MPI processes. This may indicate a severe problem with the MPI startup
mechanism.
cactus_sim:
