Module for submitting IceTray jobs in the form of Python IceTrayConfig objects.

Usage:

   runconfig.py [options] <file>

where options is one or more of

   --nproc=<number of proceses> : Specify a value to substitute $arg(nproc)

   --procnum=<process number> : Specify a process number to substitute $arg(procnum)
   --dataset=<dataset id> : Specify a unique dataset id when in production

Runconfig allows the user (or production system) to substitute values in a generic configuration file with those passed as options in the commandline. This is useful for submitting a number of jobs in which only a few parameters change for each job.

For example one might set a parameter in the configfile like:

   <service class='I3SPRNGRandomServiceFactory'>
  <name>sprngrandom</name>
  <parameters>
    <int>
      <name>NStreams</name>
      <value>$args(nproc)</value>
    </int>
    <int>
      <name>StreamNum</name>
      <value>$args(procnum)</value>
    </int>
    <int>
      <name>Seed</name>
      <value>11</value>
    </int>
  </parameters>
</service>

then run 'runconfig.py --nproc=2 --procnum=0 config.xml'
