[Simfactory] I don't understand the output of simfactory in log.txt

Hi Folks,

I have submitted a job with simfactory (still peningh in queue) with the
statement:

[snip]
  simfactory/bin/sim create-submit cactus_test-luca-openmp
--configuration test-luca-openmp --machine=damiana --hostname=damiana
--procs=16 --ppn=4  --num-threads=16 --queue=intel.q --walltime=06:00:0
--parfile=TOVMHD_CarpetRegrid2_PPM_HLLE_BSSNMoL.par
[snip]

Using the options above I would expect to get 16 processors in total,
with 4 per node, and 16 threads in total; correct?

The logilfe "log.txt" shows the following lines:

Here I see "procsrequested  = 16", "nodes = 4",  "procs = 16", and
"numthreads = 16". This is waht I have expected. However, I have also
"numprocs = 1", and this I don't understand. What must be understood as
numprocs?

Best wishes

Alexander

P.S. Because the RunScript will not be created before the job is
starting, I cannot see the final mpirun command...
