Comment (by hinder):
Re: comment:2, we would also need a mechanism to touch the checkpoint files, or arrange that these were also stored in a nonvolatile location. These might be too big for that. Without the checkpoint files, the simulation can't be recovered anyway. We should ask the admins what to do about checkpoint files which are sufficiently old to be purged between jobs. I have heard of 2-week purge times, and it's not impossible that jobs could take longer than that to start.
