Status

The status object SEP.stat_sep.status keeps track of the progress of a job. It is a dictionary linking a job descriptor to a list of properties of that job descriptor. For example, when doing a parallel job, the list will include the status of the job todo, sent, running, finished, collected, the machine the job is run on, the progress of the job,where the stderr and stdout of the job is stored, and how many times the job has failed to run correctly. The status information is written to an ASCII file that enables a job to be restarted automatically. The class also has the ability to store parameter information in the status file which can be automatically read at startup.
