    executable              = welcome.sh
    arguments               = $(ClusterId)$(ProcId)
    output                  = output/welcome.$(ClusterId).$(ProcId).out
    error                   = error/welcome.$(ClusterId).$(ProcId).err
    log                     = log/welcome.$(ClusterId).log
    queue 20
