Comment:
Why is it difficult to obtain the exit code of Cactus? Is this because mpirun only returns the exit code of the root process, or because some mpirun implementations are buggy? I think if a nonzero exit code is returned, something has definitely gone wrong, though the converse may not be true.
Setting priority to major because a test will appear to have passed even if there was a fatal error when running Cactus, if that test does not have any output files.
