Thanks, I have updated parts of the wiki. Maybe someone who knows simfactory well could update other parts, if necessary?

Some issues remain:

1) I tried the command

simfactory/bin/sim list-machines ranger

and the result is the whole list of machines. Shouldn't it output only
the data for ranger?

The list-machines command currently lists all machines in the machine database. It should also probably either:

a) complain if you give it a machine name as an extra command. b) only list machines which match the pattern of the name you give.

Can some one fix this?

2) The command     print-machine      seem non-existent:

Cactus> simfactory/bin/sim print-machine
Error: unknown command print-machine
Aborting Simfactory.

You probably want print-mdb-entry.

No, I meant print-machine, as explained on the wiki.

3) If I say:

simfactory/bin/sim --remote-machine=ranger execute ls

the reply is:

sim.py: error: no such option: --remote-machine

Try:

simfactory/bin/sim --remote ranger execute ls

4) What is the version of the command:

simfactory/bin/sim list-configurations

that lists the available configurations on a remote machine?

simfactory/bin/sim --remote ranger list-configurations

5)  What is the version of the command:

simfactory/bin/sim build [<configurationname>] --thornlist=<thornlist>

that lists the available configurations on a remote machine?

I'm not sure what you mean by this, but assuming you want to build on a remote machine:

simfactory/bin/sim --remote ranger build [configuration]

OK.
