I dislike it, as well, but for a different reason. The more you have
to do things outside of the submit file, the more like writing a
script it becomes. If the idea is to make it so that unsophisticated
users can more easily submit this types of workloads, we should avoid
making them write a script.
Also, keeping it in the submit file make it easier to support things
like Windows schedds, remote submissions, etc. in a way more
transparent to the user.
I'm inclined to favor Todd's proprosal #1. The foreach versus for x in
[list] distinction is somewhat irrelevant. The former is more familiar
to csh users, the latter to bash and similar. I actually prefer
foreach slightly just because it simplifies the syntax. But in any
case, so long as it is clear, either works.
Thanks,
BC
