The %prog script aims to take a list of samples and process them on the batch system. Submission
may be done serially (by setting --max_threads to 1), or in parallel (the default).

The basic flow is:

    1) Check that the sample to run on exists
    2) Generate a source CFG
    3) Run locally and check everything works with a small number of events
    4) Submit to the batch system 
    5) Wait until the jobs are finished
    6) Check the jobs ran OK and that the files are good

Example:

ProductionTasks.py -u cbern -w 'PFAOD*.root' -c -N 1 -q 8nh -t PAT_CMG_V5_10_0 --output_wildcard '*.root' --cfg PATCMG_cfg.py /QCD_Pt-1800_TuneZ2_7TeV_pythia6/Summer11-PU_S3_START42_V11-v2/AODSIM/V2

It is often useful to store the sample names in a file, in which case you could instead do:

ProductionTasks.py -w '*.root' -c -N 1 -q 8nh -t PAT_CMG_V5_10_0 --output_wildcard '*.root' --cfg PATCMG_cfg.py `cat samples_mc.txt`

An example file might contain:

palencia%/Tbar_TuneZ2_tW-channel-DR_7TeV-powheg-tauola/Summer11-PU_S4_START42_V11-v1/AODSIM/V2
benitezj%/ZZ_TuneZ2_7TeV_pythia6_tauola/Summer11-PU_S4_START42_V11-v1/AODSIM/V2
wreece%/ZJetsToNuNu_100_HT_200_7TeV-madgraph/Summer11-PU_S4_START42_V11-v1/AODSIM/V2

The CASTOR username for each sample is given before the '%'.

Each step in the flow has a task associated with it, which may set options. The options for each task are 
documented below.
