So the submitted script was basically calling a python script, calling
the necessary tools to check output, and run the next step. This can be
cumbersome, if it comes to errorhandling (hardware failures etc.)
actually most queueing systems have support for chaining jobs, but if
your hardware fails you're out of luck of course.

Yep that's true with Sun Grid Engine, too. I originally thought about using it, but job completition was not reliable. I should check the current status when I set up the next runs, since this should not be the default behavior. :-)

Most of the time, you can rely on the return status of your SGE jobs (i'm using SGE too).

For instance a correctly completed job returns "Exit Status = 0" while a failed job returns (whatever the failure reason) 1 or 255 ... This is a rough verification but in a first rapid approach, you can be sure to not launch the next step if exit status !=0 :-)

Hope this helps,
Stéphane
