This no longer happens. Simfactory (even --remote) now ends its output with "Warning: submit either failed or could not determine job id, output:" followed by the raw output from the submit command. Eg for a quick test trying to remote-submit to a non-existing allocation on Blue Waters I get:

Executing submit command: cd /scratch/sciteam/rhaas/simulations/foo/output-0000 && qsub /scratch/sciteam/rhaas/simulations/foo/output-0000/SIMFACTORY/SubmitScript

Warning: submit either failed or could not determine job id, output:

Warning:

WARNING: A scan of your job script did not find an invocation of 'aprun'/'ccmrun'.

This may be due to using another command to invoke 'aprun'/'ccmrun', or the use of a shell variable.

Job will be submitted as usual, but please ensure your job script eventually invokes 'aprun'/'ccmrun' command to execute tasks on allocated compute nodes. Please contact help+bw@ncsa.illinois.edu if you need any assistance.

ERROR: No allocation for project account (bar). Please specify a project acount with valid allocation. e.g. 'qsub -A <project_account> job.script.sh' Please contact help+bw@ncsa.illinois.edu if you need assistance.

Probably related to the cause of ~~#334~~. A fix is proposed there.
