% *======================================================================*
% Cactus Thorn template for ThornGuide documentation
% Author: Ian Kelley
% Date: Sun Jun 02, 2002
% $Header$
%
% Thorn documentation in the latex file doc/documentation.tex
% will be included in ThornGuides built with the Cactus make system.
% The scripts employed by the make system automatically include
% pages about variables, parameters and scheduling parsed from the
% relevent thorn CCL files.
%
% This template contains guidelines which help to assure that your
% documentation will be correctly added to ThornGuides. More
% information is available in the Cactus UsersGuide.
%
% Guidelines:
% - Do not change anything before the line
% % START CACTUS THORNGUIDE",
% except for filling in the title, author, date etc. fields.
% - Each of these fields should only be on ONE line.
% - Author names should be sparated with a \\ or a comma
% - You can define your own macros, but they must appear after
% the START CACTUS THORNGUIDE line, and must not redefine standard
% latex commands.
% - To avoid name clashes with other thorns, 'labels', 'citations',
% 'references', and 'image' names should conform to the following
% convention:
% ARRANGEMENT_THORN_LABEL
% For example, an image wave.eps in the arrangement CactusWave and
% thorn WaveToyC should be renamed to CactusWave_WaveToyC_wave.eps
% - Graphics should only be included using the graphix package.
% More specifically, with the "includegraphics" command. Do
% not specify any graphic file extensions in your .tex file. This
% will allow us (later) to create a PDF version of the ThornGuide
% via pdflatex. |
% - References should be included with the latex "bibitem" command.
% - Use \begin{abstract}...\end{abstract} instead of \abstract{...}
% - Do not use \appendix, instead include any appendices you need as
% standard sections.
% - For the benefit of our Perl scripts, and for future extensions,
% please use simple latex.
%
% *======================================================================*
%
% Example of including a graphic image:
% \begin{figure}[ht]
% \begin{center}
% \includegraphics[width=6cm]{MyArrangement_MyThorn_MyFigure}
% \end{center}
% \caption{Illustration of this and that}
% \label{MyArrangement_MyThorn_MyLabel}
% \end{figure}
%
% Example of using a label:
% \label{MyArrangement_MyThorn_MyLabel}
%
% Example of a citation:
% \cite{MyArrangement_MyThorn_Author99}
%
% Example of including a reference
% \bibitem{MyArrangement_MyThorn_Author99}
% {J. Author, {\em The Title of the Book, Journal, or periodical}, 1 (1999),
% 1--16. {\tt http://www.nowhere.com/}}

% START CACTUS THORNGUIDE
% Add all definitions used in this documentation here
% \def\mydef etc
% Add an abstract for this thorn's documentation
\begin{abstract}
This thorn watches the elapsed walltime. If only $n$ minutes are
left before the some limit set by the user, it triggers termination
of the simulation. Termination is also triggered if a special file
with a special content exists.
\end{abstract}
% The following sections are suggestive only.
% Remove them or add your own.
\section{Using This Thorn}
To use this thorn you only need to include it in your ActiveThorns
parameter and set the relevent parameters. With default parameters
the thorn does nothing.
Current options are to gracefully terminate a simulation $n$ minutes
before a set time limit, or to terminate a simulation when the user
creates a certain file. The latter is one of a few possibilities to
order a Cactus simulation to terminate from the outside while giving
it time to checkpoint. (Another possibility is to use the web
interface for this.)
\subsection{Obtaining This Thorn}
Available as part of the Cactus Computational Toolkit in arrangement
CactusUtils.
\subsection{Support and Feedback}
To the Cactus Team at \texttt{cactusmaint@cactuscode.org} or through
the Bug/Feature Request web pages at \texttt{www.cactuscode.org}.
