- '''--compare_script filename''' :: name of script to compare two results.
+ '''--init_script "filename arg1 ... argn"''' :: script to check the validity of a result.  Exit zero if valid.
+ '''--compare_script "filename arg1 ... argn"''' :: script to compare two results.  Exit zero if outputs are equivalent.

-where f1 ... fn are the output files of a job (there may be just one).
-It exits with zero if the files are valid.
+'''arg1 ... argn''' represent cmdline args to be passed to the scripts.
+The options for init_script are:

 The scripts must be put in your project's bin/ directory.
