You can commit the original patch that you proposed. For this, you could have a fresh checkout of Simfactory around (which is a good idea anyway), apply the patch there, and then commit. Since the patch is fresh, this should work without much trouble.

If you then update your other working tree (with the additional changes), you should be able to distill a new patch with just the cleanup changes. This works out of the box many times; if the changes are intertwined, this requires some manual work.

The new cleanup procedure is thus:

1. Automatic cleanup of every simulation is now gone.  2. Any command that creates a new restart (submit, user initiated run)  calls restartlib.CleanupSimulation on that specific simulation, and  CleanupSimulation will only attempt to do cleanup if it finds an active  restart for that given simulation  3. sim cleanup without any arguments will cleanup all simulations. If you  specify a specific simulation, it will only clean up that one.

Still needing to be implemented are the times when cleanup of all  simulations should happen, or the cleanup when a simulation finishes.  These need to be done via cronjobs or some other method that hasn't quite  been figured out yet. Please svn up to get the latest revision (I  committed a bunch of very trivial code changes) then apply this patch and  add comments to this ticket related to this patch.
