<div dir="ltr">Hi Erik,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for your suggestion. I was doing a sim run because I get this error when I <u>start a new simulation</u> doing a 'submit' on my cluster "Executing submit command: exec nohup <sim directory address>".

"sim run" starts a simulation right away. Have you tried "sim submit"<br>
instead? This should check whether the simulation is still active, and<br>
if so, deactivate it before running the next restart.<br>
