      #420: newest revision of simfactory 2.0 submit three instead of one job
Reporter: anonymous
   Status: closed
Milestone: 
  Version: ET_2010_11
     Type: bug
 Priority: minor
Component: SimFactory
Changes (by Roland Haas):
I am submitting a simulation using simfactory with the command:
```
[snip]
simfactory/bin/sim submit test-whisky-openmp --configuration test-whisky-openmp --parfile=whisky-openmp-test-ali.par --verbose --walltime=48:00:00 --procs=16 --ppn=4 --num-threads=4 --machine=damiana --queue=intel.q
[snip]
```
sim then comes with the messages:
```text
