Comment (by hinder):
I would argue that SimFactory should not be in the business of supporting individual thorns; it shouldn't really know anything about Cactus either! Perhaps it would be better for SimFactory to expose this sort of information in some other way. I would suggest environment variables which can be picked up by the thorn, but there are probably issues with ensuring that the full environment is available on every MPI process.
Why can the user not just put @WALLTIME@ into their parameter file? That is the solution that I always use. Is this because they might want to use their parameter file without simfactory?
