perhabs you could use 2 Cache-on-file-Nodes.
[1. Cache on File Node (Reading)] ---> Execute
[Get Particle Position] - [Array from Set] - [Array Size] - [Test > 0] -
[Set Data (Sim = True)]
[IF (sim = true)]
[..... all your Nodes....]
[2. Cache on File Node (writing)]
PS: Need some ICE-Tree-Plugin for eMails

Without a custom node, the only solution is maybe to re-compute the
particle age each frame (using your own attribute) and compare with
the one from the file. If it doesn't match, execute the simulated
branch and write it to disc. Assuming that the icecache got an
attribute like age of course.
Just an idea,

We don't have a "File Exists" node -- that'd be cool to have though --
so I personally don't see how you could do this with factory nodes

That said, nothing stops you from writing a C++ ICE node that
checks for files
existing.
