grid_check

Checks .sig files to see which runs in a grid have completed.

When running a grid of models, it may not be clear whether all of the runs have been completed, especially if time limits are placed on the individual runs. This routine checks the .sig files to see which of a list of .pf files have been completed.

Command line usage (if any):

usage:

grid_check.py filename

where filename contains a list of the .pf files that need to be checked

Description:

The routine reads a file containing a list of .pf files, excluding those with out.pf extensions and then checks the .sig files to see whether the run is complete.

It generates a table Status.txt that contians the completion status of each .pf file and writes to the screen some information about those that do not appear to be complete.

Additionally, if there are runs that look to be incomplete it writes out a file XRunRest that contains a proto run file for the incompleted runs. This will need to be edited for each specific situation.
