Fine with me too. Related: even if Cactus exits with non-zero, this might not be handed correctly down to the runscript. We should think about letting Cactus indicate a successful exit by writing a special file. Any crash or other unsuccessful exit would not generate this file, and it would be easy to check for the existence of that file - easier than for an exit code, routed through mpirun and possibly other helper scripts on various machines.
