LSF batch jobs are killed on closing ADEXL window

My previous reply might have been slightly ambiguous. Regardless of how the simulation jobs (the "ICRP") get launched (either local, remote or via a queueing system like LSF), the default behaviour is for the simulations to end when you exit virtuoso or exit ADE. This is because there is a communication channel between virtuoso and these remote processes, and one end would no longer be available. It has to do something special to deal with that channel no longer being there.

That's what the envSetVal is for - it tells it to use a different strategy. This means that if virtuoso exits - either abnormally (i.e. a crash) or manually - then the background jobs continue (well, for a manual exit, you get a popup asking you whether you want the simulations to continue). That doesn't happen if you close the ADE XL window though - the assumption then is that because you've chosen to exit the ADE XL window, you are stopping using the tool.

The reason why it works for exiting virtuoso is to deal with the situation where there is planned maintenance for the machine where you've launched virtuoso, and you are being asked to log out - but don't want the sims which have been submitted on the farm to die.
